How do you build a cybersecurity solution? At iFlock, we understand that the roots of a robust cybersecurity strategy are universal, no matter your budget or resources. Here’s a short guide from our experts to help you craft a comprehensive solution: 1. Identify Sensitive Data: Know what types of sensitive data you store and where you store it. Attackers don’t care about data that’s useless to them. They’re typically looking for customer data, financial data, trade secrets, data about other businesses…anything they can use. Cataloging this data helps you protect it effectively. 2. Know Your Network: Understand your hardware, software, and cloud services and ensure security patches are up-to-date and anti-malware measures are in place. With cloud-based storage or vendors, ensure you know what security measures are your vendor’s responsibility and what you’re responsible for. 3. Train Employees and Stakeholders: It doesn’t matter how good your cybersecurity solution is if a staff member hands attackers the keys to the kingdom. Phishing and social engineering are two of the most common forms of attack, thus investing in smart password management, two-factor authentication, and employee training and buy-in is just as important as strong technology-based protection. 4. Find the Right Partners: Large organizations with their own dedicated cybersecurity teams may not have all the needed expertise for true security, and smaller organizations may not be able to afford cybersecurity professionals. And that’s OK! Cybersecurity consultants free you to focus on your core competencies and will handle securing your data and networks for you. Cybersecurity is a specialized field, and for many organizations, it’s far more efficient to bring in specialists than to try to handle cybersecurity in-house.
