1. Awareness and Monitoring - Get familiar with your attack surface and make sure you have up-todate documentation of all connected assets. Use a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) baselining software, a rogue system detection device, and a vulnerability scanner to help with the identification. 2. Cybersecurity Training - It’s crucial to ensure the IT team knows how to identify potential compromises and the knowledge to report and escalate a response when needed correctly. 3. Impact Reduction - Limit sensitive information and connectivity to vulnerable systems and have a well-trained Incident Response Plan (in-house or third-party) to address cyber threats. 4. Vulnerability Management - A Vulnerability Management program will collect the latest threats and vulnerabilities, including threat intelligence. The data for the intelligence collection can be produced by a vulnerability scanner tailored to individual networks with a SIEM. 5. Threat Information Sharing - Participation in threat information sharing platforms such as the Cybersecurity and Industrial Security Agency’s Automated Information Sharing program and the Cybersecurity Incident Response Center’s (CIRCL) Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP), which is also known as the Open Source Threat Intelligence Platform (OSTIP) is highly recommended. 6. Incident Response Training -Finally, prioritized training for SOC/NOC personnel that emphasizes how to conduct the processes outlined in the Incident Response Plan is needed, along with periodic (monthly) reviews of the Vulnerability Management Plan to ensure that it accurately incorporates assets and addresses all vulnerabilities. New technologies indeed bring advancements in communication and computation. But these advanced technologies come with the warning that each newly connected device holds an additional gateway for hacker entrance. Enterprises are facing new vulnerability challenges against the backdrop of inadequate IT protection. Cybersecurity professionals must automate network security using SIEM, rogue systems detectors, and vulnerability scanners to identify potential threats. For organizations lacking cybersecurity personnel or the necessary monitoring/analyzing tools, highly-trained, third-party cybersecurity professionals can perform all these preventative threat measures—often at a lower cost than one highly-trained cybersecurity professional. Outsourcing cybersecurity responsibilities to a third-party security provider is similar to outsourcing data storage and processing to a cloud provider. Both bring cost, scale, and expert knowledge advantages to the table. As the border of today’s enterprise networks continues to creep beyond the confines of corporate walls, more skilled cybersecurity teams and advanced automation tools are needed to mitigate risks and diminish attack surfaces.
