Friday Thoughts: Cyber Resilience Today's outage brings to the forefront how interconnected our cyber infrastructure really is. It also begs the questions: does your company/organization have a cyber-resilience plan/fail-over plan? When was it last tested or updated? Does the plan rely on the same OS/software, or do you have a secondary option? Ultimately, the best way to develop your organization's cyber-resilience and disaster recovery is to ensure you're appropriately funding, testing, and staffing your IT and security teams every day, not just during a crisis. Were you impacted by today's outage, personally or professionally? Any takeaway learnings to share? #cyberresilience #cybersecurity #ITOps

Nearly all IT assets possess at least one highly exploitable vulnerability, but addressing every vulnerability or applying every patch can become a cyclical and time-consuming exercise that is hard to scale. SHI’s vulnerability management recommendations help you prioritise mission-critical vulnerabilities for your business, enabling enhanced efficiency, productivity, and reputation protection. Find out how #SHI can help you to prepare a customised action plan tailored to your infrastructure here: https://bit.ly/3DQEFCo #Cybersecurity #SHIUK

Always update your devices and applications to the latest version. Known and exploited vulnerabilities are scarier than the potential issues with updates. Unpatched assets are one of the key reasons of successful ransomware attacks. Follow vendor announcements for any new discovered vulnerabilities in your infrastructure. Use automation as much as possible to speed up the process and save your operations teams time. It makes sense to prioritize some assets over the other. You can follow a risk-based model for this and determine which assets must go first. But don’t forget or ignore them. Overall security of your infrastructure is defined by its weakest point. So, it is vital to update all assets. What is your process to manage vulnerabilities in your network? Have you automated vulnerability and patch management? How long does it take to upgrade your assets? #securityposture #cybersecurity #infrastrcuturesecurity #cyberresilience #cybersecurityreadiness
