CYBER SECURITY: Low-cost and no-cost things organisations can do to improve their cyber security


Cyber security

IT department of any organization is a good place to start to get a basic understanding of its overall cyber security posture.
·         The IT department should be able to provide details on controls, ports, services, firewall rules and device configurations: How these things are secured, how that is monitored, and how that could be changed to meet the most likely cyber threats to your organization.
·         IT departments should also be able to provide details about how the network is sub-netted or segmented, said Venables, which can useful in ensuring staff can access only areas appropriate for their roles.
·         If attackers are in your network, segmenting it can slow them down and make it more difficult for them to move around.
·         Should consideris whether to allow employees access to webmail and unrestricted web browsing from work IT environments: Not only is webmail a good way of getting bad stuff in, it is also a good way for attackers or malicious insiders to get stolen data out.
·         Organizations should also consider blocking the major threat vectors used in websites, such as JavaScript, Java, Flash Player, and macros.
