These types of #warnings, such as those from my colleagues too, should not be ignored or casually scrolled past. Many people tend to think, "it doesn’t concern me", until the day it happens to them. Here’s another warning from almost every #security agency in the #USA, which is equally valid for #Europe - please read, then read my attached post among others published here: https://lnkd.in/e9w_dqX9 #cybersecurity #phishing #data #privacy #dataprivacy #gdpr #socialengineering

🔒 *Ever thought of zero trust security in your system?* In a world where cyber threats continue to evolve, the traditional "trust but verify" approach just doesn't cut it anymore. I recently witnessed a friend's organization suffer a data breach that could have been prevented with zero trust. It got me thinking about the importance of creating an environment where no user is trusted by default. Here’s what I learned: * *Assume Breach*: Every request should be considered risky until proven otherwise. * *Verify and Never Trust*: Always verify users through multiple factors, no matter where they are. * *Limit Access*: Provide minimal access to users based on their role and the task at hand. * *Continuous Monitoring*: Keep an eye on user activities to detect and respond to anomalies in real time. Implementing these could prevent unnecessary risks and build a stronger defense. Have you already adopted a zero-trust model in your organization? What challenges or successes have you faced? Let’s spark a conversation! 💬👇 #CyberSecurity #ZeroTrust #DataProtection #ITSecurity #Networking

Organizations spend significant portions of their budgets for security tools, services, staff, and policies and procedures development. However, how much focus is put on actually testing to make sure their financial investment is and will actually work in the likely occurance of a cyber attack. One of the reasons threat actors are effective is that they test, test and test. They dont generally just develop tools and playbooks then use them. Their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) are tested extensively prior to an attack. Organizations that want to be prepared should be implementing the same approach. Having the right tools, services, trained staff and plans are needed, but waiting for an actual cyber attack to find out if everything works cohesively is a huge mistake many organizations make. There are many ways to test and practice internally or with the support of specialized vendors. Find and remediate the flaws internally before they are exposed and the consequences are much greater. #LetsMeetTheFuture #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #SecureOurWorld #ITChannel #CyberSecurity
