Are you ready to hunt down and defeat the monsters of cybersecurity
that are threatening your organization? This checklist can help make
sure that you’re prepared for trouble and ready to vanquish any foul
fiends that darken your door.
Do you have ...
AN INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN?
To their detriment, about 50% of SMBs have no plan in place to handle cybersecurity incidents.
In an IBM study, researchers noted that only 39% of organizations with a formally tested
incident response plan experienced an incident at all as compared to 62% of those
who didn’t have a plan.
MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION TO PROTECT CREDENTIALS?
This single mitigation can prevent 99% of password-based cybercrime according to the
experts at Microsoft. It is also a foundational element of zero-trust security as well as a requirement for compliance with HIPAA,
PCI-DSS, CJIS, FFIECC, new federal rules and other data privacy rules. A STRONG CYBERSECURITY CULTURE?
Building a strong cybersecurity culture benefits businesses in so many ways. When everyone is invested in information security,
policies and rules are more likely to be followed, keeping data and systems safe while reducing the chance of incidents from employee error
and malicious insider threats.
SINGLE SIGN-ON LAUNCHPADS FOR EVERY USER?
With just one password to remember for everything, employees are less likely to write
passwords down, reuse and recycle passwords, dodge password policies or use a shared
password. An estimated 60% of passwords that appeared in more than one breach in 2020
were recycled or reused.A ROADMAP TO IMPLEMENT A
ZERO TRUST FRAMEWORK?
Federal technology experts in concert with major tech companies are setting rules and standards
that encourage adherence to zero trust principles to ensure a reduced threat surface,
a limited possibility for data exfiltration, maximized use and authority of authentication
and improving overall cyber resilience.
THREAT INTELLIGENCE FROM THE DARK WEB?
The dark web economy is booming and that creates trouble for business in myriad ways. Credentials were the top type of information stolen in data breaches worldwide in 2020, and more than 2 billion of them arrived on
the dark web last year, providing ample fuel for cybercrime.
SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING
RUN AT THE RIGHT CADENCE?
Security awareness training is a powerful tool to use in the fight against cybercrime and it is
extremely effective. Businesses that run regular security awareness training reduce their chances of experiencing a damaging
cybersecurity incident by up to 70%.
A CULTURE THAT ENCOURAGES EMPLOYEES TO REPORT PROBLEMS WITHOUT FEAR OF REPERCUSSION?
Part of having a healthy cybersecurity culture is encouraging employees to ask for
help and report trouble. Yet, a third of employees say they don’t report incidents for fear of getting in trouble, losing their jobs or
being forced to take security awareness training (which should never be used as a
punishment).
SECURITY AUTOMATION AT
WORK FOR YOU?
If security automation is the way of the future, then the future is now — and it’s all about
savings. Security automation can save more than 80% of the cost of manual security, boost
the caseload capacity of your SOC by 300% and save up to 50% of incident recovery costs. THE RIGHT PIECES IN PLACE FOR CYBER RESILIENCE?
Cyber resilience can be the difference between a security incident and a security
disaster. IBM researchers note that for leaders in cyber resilience, only 1 in 27 cyberattacks actually breach security as opposed to the 1 in 8 cyberattacks that breach the security of companies that
lag behind.
Are you are missing any of the essentials on this list? If you are, your business is at risk of
being harmed by a cybersecurity monster - and 60% of companies go out of
business within six months of experiencing a cyberattack! That makes defeating the
monsters of cybersecurity vital But you don’t have to fight alone. The ID Agent digital risk
protection platform has the tools you need to ward off the spine-chilling risks of today and
the nightmares of tomorrow.
