10 Important Cybersecurity Practices for your Business

10 Important Cybersecurity Practices for your Business 1. EDUCATION It’s much easier to prevent a hack than it is to recover from a hack. Once your company’s sensitive data is stolen through a ransomware attack, recovering it is often a long and arduous process.

Separate data from another nonprofit cybersecurity group, the Information Systems Security Association, found a 63% increase in cyb

What is Zero Trust?

Zero trust is a security model based on the principle of maintaining strict access controls and not trusting anyone by default, even those already inside the network perimeter. Zero Trust is a security concept that requires all users, even those inside the organization’s enterprise network, to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validating security configuration and posture, before being granted or keeping access to applications and data. This approach leverages advanced technologies such as multifactor authentication, identity and access management (IAM), and next-generation endpoint security technology to verify the user’s identity and maintain system security. Zero Trust is a significant departure from traditional network security , which followed the “trust but verify” method. The traditional approach automatically trusted users and endpoints within the organization’s perimeters, putting the organization at risk from malicious internal actors and allowing unauthorize
