This is the first in a series of posts that will aim to provide some initial guidance on the fundamentals of cyber security.
Here we start with what we feel is the most overlooked aspect of any security activity, especially in smaller organisations; Identifying and Assessing the Risks.
Email has been the biggest vector used in cyber-attacks for many years, with over 95% of attacks delivered using email. Which is why continuing with the basic security measures provided by email clients and services, is not enough to prevent today's modern emails attacks.
Whether you are at the start of your journey into better cyber security, or you have an established security programme, regular Cyber Assessments can be key to understanding risks, testing defences or monitoring progress.
Ironshare offer numerous types of assessment that can be tailored for businesses of all types, large or small.
Assessments tailored to you that focus on discovering risks across the three key pillars of People, Processes & Technology. Helping to secure all areas of your business not just your IT & security products.
Identify weaknesses throughout the business, whether its vulnerable vendor products, Internet accessible services, poor process, or even misconfiguration of your IT assets. Know where these exist so you can reduce those gaps.
Once the assessment is complete, reports are produced to highlight the findings and their associated risk to your business. This will give an understanding of areas to focus on, and, clear recommendations on how to resolve these problems.
With a report in hand, you can define an action plan that prioritises the reduction of key high risks first. You can do this yourself, or, we can work with you to define a plan and assist you on the journey to better cyber security.
