Following the changes brought about by the pandemic in business, organizations significantly increased their use of data and the Internet. As a result of what we now know as the new normal prevalence of cyber attacks and cybersecurity risks in the digital landscape.
Standing Together Against Cybercrime
Because security issues can arise from any department within an organization through security threats such as phishing the responsibility of cybersecurity no longer rests solely on the shoulders of the IT team. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all parts of the company are involved in planning and implementing cybersecurity measures.
In line with this line of thinking, management and directors should be directly involved in implementing best practices to mitigate cybersecurity risk. By bringing security forward in management procedures and responding quickly to cyber threats when they occur, executives within an organization can lead by example.
How Nestor Security Strengthens Cybersecurity
The first step in establishing a cybersecurity program, is to assess the current effectiveness of an organization's cybersecurity risks and data management. A good example is the implementation of ISO 27001 that we can undertake for you, as this is a globally recognized standard in information security.
As part of an audit, our hackers go to work testing security systems through an penetration test. Appropriately, then, these experts are often referred to as ''Ethical Hackers.'' They offer unique insight into the audit process and can find problems that security professionals often overlook.
During a penetration test, our hackers perform an authorized cyber attack to find vulnerabilities in a company's cyber security. Once detected, we advise companies on how to tighten their cyber security to prevent these vulnerabilities from being exploited.
Based on this assessment, we offer companies a roadmap for developing a cybersecurity action plan. This will ensure the protection of sensitive information systems and stakeholder data and privacy.
The Future of Cybersecurity
A high-quality cybersecurity program is necessary to ensure that an organization is better prepared for existing and future cybersecurity risks. Especially with the Internet and its associated security risks playing an increasing role in business processes, it is important that Cybersecurity is at the center of organizations. Because hiring an internal specialist in the field of information security is not realistic for most mid-sized companies, it often pays to hire an Security Officer to be considered on an external basis.
