We can think of 12. → vendor risk assessment → limit access and permissions → vendor contracts and SLAs → MFA → regular security audits → vendor security monitoring → TPRM program → vendor cybersecurity training → data encryption and backups → breach notification and response → regularly update vendor access inventory → vendor-specific cyber insurance ✍ Anything else you'd add? *** A note to the IT pros and IT staff leaders: Don't forget!

🕰️ Time for school ** Here is your 1 actionable takeaway from this event ** 🎯 Limit Access And Permissions Follow the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP): Ensure vendors only have the minimum level of access necessary to perform their tasks. Avoid granting access to sensitive systems or data unless absolutely necessary. Segmentation: Isolate vendor access by placing it in a separate, segmented part of your network. This limits the impact of a potential breach. And there are 10 more proactive steps I can think of off the top of my head that would have contained these two breaches for ADT.

What's your organization's plan to avoid your data from being "Taken"?😬 The reality is that IF you have a cyber breach, you are all alone. There is no one you can call to get your data back or avoid paying ransom for your data. 9-1-1, the FBI or even the great Liam Neeson, won't be able to assist. You WILL have to pay to get access to your information and that's not guaranteed to get your data back. 🥶 Don't wait for an incident to start understanding your organization's cyber risks. Ask us about our Baseline IT Assessment. This assessment provides detailed analysis of your organization's current IT and cyber risks. 💪 Knowing what your current gaps are is the only place to start. 🎯 #ransomware #cybersecurity #dataprotection

Cyber Security is an incredibly important topic. In a moment your data can be lost, your access can be destroyed and in the worst-case scenario even your life savings.... Sounds dramatic, and even though Tech Support Cat has a flair for drama, this is something you need to make a part of your IT planning, both for your business and personally. I have heard some horror stories in relation to cyber security, and I wanted to create something a way to protect those that work with me from experiencing this. Get in touch if you want to discuss your current processes and security, and keep an eye out for my tips and information that will be released. #Cybersecurity #UNDOIT #Support #BusinessSupport #BusinessInSweden #ITOutsource

Part 3 [ Impact & Documentation ] A common question I've been asked by the C-suite during past cyber incidents is: "What data was affected?" To best prepare to have an intelligent answer you should walk through what tools, visibility, and skillset you'll need and ensure you get them. Also remember all good process involves an assessment of what worked well and what didn't work well. Elements of your IR process that fail can provide excellent lessons on what needs to change but only if you can recall those shortcomings and adjust accordingly. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat about your program, a recent incident, or other strategies to mature your IR program. #incidentresponse #cybersecurity

I'd like to say this isn't a true story we haven't seen before, that doesn't happen to businesses all over the planet, every day. But that's far from reality. It's often too late when companies reach out to us after a Cyber breach. How secure is your business? What proactive preparedness data are you measuring, receiving, regularly reviewing? Unless you're receiving a clear monthly Cyber protection & readiness baseline report from your IT team, chances are you're not secure. Make sure you and your IT partners are covering at least the basics and know where your business stands in the overall Cyber readiness landscape. #Business #Cybersecurity #IT #CyberReporting
