2024 Data #Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) Executive Summary The 2024 DBIR reveals key cybersecurity trends and best practices. Notable findings include 👇 : #Ransomware & Extortion: Continues to be a top threat. Recommendation: Implement robust backup strategies and regular patch management. #Phishing & Social Engineering: Increased use of Pretexting and Phishing. Recommendation: Enhance employee training and deploy multi-factor authentication (MFA). #Exploitation of Vulnerabilities: Significant rise in zero-day exploits. Recommendation: Prioritize patching critical vulnerabilities and employ continuous monitoring. #Errors & Misdelivery: Human errors are prevalent. Recommendation: Implement data loss prevention (DLP) tools and conduct regular audits. #Third-Party Risk: Increase in supply chain attacks. Recommendation: Vet third-party vendors rigorously and ensure they follow security best practices. #Key Takeaway: Strengthen cybersecurity posture by focusing on employee training, regular patch management, robust backup strategies, and thorough third-party risk assessments.

SMEs: Don't let limited resources leave you vulnerable to cyberattacks! 🚨 Due to limited budgets and a lack of dedicated security teams, SMEs are THREE times more likely to be targeted by cybercriminals. But, there’s a solution. Partner with a Security Operations Centre (SOC) as a Service to keep your business protected. Get 24/7 monitoring, threat detection, and incident response, without the hefty cost of building an in-house team. 💰 Our SOC as a Service gives you: ✅ Continuous security monitoring ✅ Targeted threat intelligence ✅ Vulnerability management ✅ Critical incident alerts Focus on your business, while we protect your valuable data. https://lnkd.in/eZFA5-5S #DigitalOversight #cybersecurity #SOC #SMEsecurity #cyberattacks #protectyourbusiness

Given all of the the challenges facing business and the immediate fires that require attention, paying forward on a risk that is difficult to understand, can seem an avoidable expense. Having dedicated resources will be expensive, loading current employees with additional tasks outside their skill set could have a negative impact. So what to do? Leveraging a scaled SOC service can deliver detection of cyber threats and provide the recommended fixes before the real damage is done, allowing operations, revenue flow, and reputation to remain in tact.

An insider threat in cybersecurity comes from trusted users within an organization—like employees, contractors, and partners—who might misuse access, whether intentionally (for gain or to disrupt) or accidentally (due to lack of awareness or training). This can lead to serious financial and operational impacts. To stay safe, organizations should set clear security rules, train their teams well, and use tools like data loss prevention (DLP) to protect their IT resources effectively. Understanding and managing insider threats is key to keeping your business secure. How does your organization prioritize security measures to mitigate these risks effectively? #MSP #MSSP #CyberSecurity

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 To establish a robust security posture for embedded systems, it's essential to clearly define your threat model. A threat model helps identify potential security threats and guides you in selecting the right configurations and protection mechanisms. Here are just a few points to consider Identify Critical Assets: Determine which data and applications need to be secured. Assess Physical Access: Consider if an attacker can physically access the system. Evaluate Logical Threats: Understand the risks from remote or over-the-wire attackers. Plan for Updates: Decide how to handle fielded updates securely. Storage Considerations: Assess the security of data storage, whether it's read-only or regularly updated. By answering these questions, you can narrow down possible threats and ensure you've mitigated all relevant risks. #EmbeddedSecurity #ThreatModeling #CyberSecurity #OWASP

Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) CTEM is a valuable tool for organizations looking to evaluate and enhance their security posture. CTEM helps security stakeholders understand and assess their current security measures, organize and prioritize actions to manage risks, and improve communication within and outside organizations using a common language. It's a comprehensive collection of guidelines, best practices, and recommendations, divided into five core functions: "Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover " Each function includes several categories and subcategories, notably: 🚦 Identify - Understand which assets need to be secured. 🚦 Protect - Implement measures to ensure assets are properly and adequately secured. 🚦 Detect - Set up mechanisms to detect attacks or weaknesses. 🚦 Respond - Develop detailed plans for notifying individuals affected by data breaches, recent events that might jeopardize data, and regularly test response plans, to minimize impact of attacks. 🚦 Recover - Establish processes to get back up and running post-attack. #CTEM #cybersecurity #datasecurity

❗ And Yes, It was an Incident!!! ❓ Do we consider only cyber attacks as cyber incidents? ❓ Have we forgotten our Grade 1 cybersecurity lesson of "CIA"? ❓ Are we more focused on protecting the business than caring about the business itself? What will you protect if there is no business? ❓ Is a potential risk greater that an existing one? I noticed that we often see availability issues as just DoS and DDoS attacks, overlooking system crashes and misconfigurations. I recall a debate when I was a CISO for a bank regarding including Business Continuity under the CISO's scope. And guess what? we even decided to include information written on paper because a CISO should care about information, regardless of its format. Now, I clearly see the maturity in OT by focusing on their business more than just protecting it, pushing security professionals to find solutions that support OT business. I hope this "INCIDENT" helps shift our culture to be more business-oriented and to gain more credibility in front of the world. #CyberSecurity #BusinessContinuity #IncidentResponse #CISO #CIA #InformationSecurity #OTSecurity #BusinessResilience #SecurityCulture #CyberMaturity #SystemAvailability #RiskManagement #SecurityLeadership #CyberAwareness
