Cybersecurity

43% of cyber attacks are aimed at small businesses, yet only 14% to defend themselves. With cybercrime on the rise (by 15% year-to-year), it's never been more important to take your cybersecurity strategy seriously and protect your business.

The Essential 8 Framework

Protecting your business from cyber threats is crucial in today's digital landscape. Implementing a strong cyber security strategy can help safeguard your business and mitigate potential risks. Here are the eight essential mitigation strategies, also known as the Essential 8, developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC):

Implement measures to prevent unauthorised or malicious applications from running on your systems. This helps reduce the risk of malware and other threats.

Keep your operating systems up to date with the latest security patches. Regularly applying patches helps address known vulnerabilities and protects against exploits.

Maintain up-to-date versions of applications and apply patches as soon as they become available. This ensures that software vulnerabilities are addressed promptly.

Limit the execution of Microsoft Office macros to trusted and authorized sources. Malicious macros can be used to deliver malware or exploit system vulnerabilities.

Harden your internet browsers and other applications by configuring them to minimise potential security risks. This can include disabling unnecessary features and restricting certain actions.

Limit administrative privileges to only those who require them for their roles. Unauthorised or excessive administrative access can lead to security breaches or accidental damage.

Enable MFA for all relevant accounts and platforms. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide additional authentication factors, such as a code from a mobile app, in addition to a password.

Regularly back up your data to ensure you have a copy in case of data loss or ransomware attacks. Follow the 3-2-1 rule: maintain three copies of your data, store them in at least two different formats or locations, and keep one copy offsite.

Implementing these strategies at different maturity levels through our MITS (and SECaaS addons) will greatly enhance your organization's cyber security posture. The higher the maturity level, the more comprehensive and advanced your security measures are. Remember, cyber security is an ongoing process, and it's important to stay updated with the latest threats and best practices to protect your business effectively.
