A well-structured Cyber Security Strategy is a must to deal with today’s evolving Cyber Threats. Over the last few years there has been a significant increase in TARGETED cyber-attacks on companies of all size and across industry, causing irrecoverable damage to the brand and reputation and having enormous financial impact. Businesses today not only have to deal with the threat of external attackers but insider threats as well. According to experts, 55 percent of all corporate cyber-attacks are either caused by careless or negligent employees or by those with malicious intent. Companies generally focus on the outside and leave the inside vulnerable.Today’s cyber threats are far more sophisticated than ever, current techniques such as rules, signatures, white listing, and sand boxing are no longer sufficient. To deal with the ever evolving threat vectors there has to be an integrated approach with security control implemented across all layers of the infrastructure working as 1.
“To counter such complex multi-vector security threats it is vital for organisations to formulate a comprehensive Cyber Security Strategy, with the board involvement and approval, traditional silo based security solutions don’t work anymore, theyadd to the technology sprawl and security becomes un-manageable,” says Pradeep Kumar, the CEO and Co-founder of BizCarta Technologies.
