Three Keys To Fast-Track Your Cybersecurity Posture For Compliance
Cyber Awareness – Understanding which areas within your organisation requires strengthening, such as skills and knowledge, will help you to determine where improvement is required to reach your goals. The aim should be to equip your organisation to reach these predefined goals and objectives, by providing your workforce with the skills required to get the job done with data safety and excellence in mind. Targeted attacks are delivered via malicious links, file attachments, and login forms. A user should be able to identify the warning signs and understand what to do in the event of a spear-phishing attack. Humans are our most valuable asset, however also our weakest link.Data Protection – What protection should there be when data lands in the wrong hands. Again, employees are the weakest link in an organisation and taking the responsibility to safeguard data “out” of employee’s hands is both beneficial to the employee and the company. This is where encryption and mobile device management play a huge role.
Vulnerability assessments, Penetration Testing and Web Application scanning – Are these required and if so, how often are they required? What should be covered when these assessments are done.
