Cyber-crime is expected to cost in excess of $6 trillion in the next 3 years. The number of attacks on IT infrastructure is growing at an exceptional rate, and data is the main target.
It’s your responsibility to protect your business’ assets, and you need to ensure confidential personal and financial information won’t get into the wrong hands.
So what good practices can you implement in order to better protect your business?
Panda suggests you should be doing the following, to increase the cyber-resilience of your IT infrastructure.
- Check your system for unpatched vulnerabilities, especially those with security holes that have known exploits in use.
- Adequately monitor your network infrastructure. Where necessary for security, isolate these networks from external connections.
- Control your removable drives. This not only ensures that malware doesn’t enter the internal network through an often unprotected method, but also blocks data theft.
- Monitor PCs which are connected to Programmable Logic Controllers (or PLCs). These devices are the most sensitive, as an attacker can gain access to sensitive control systems.
Protecting against advanced threats and targeted attacks, including detecting suspicious behaviour before it becomes a problem, is solved with EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response).
Panda’s Adaptive Defense 360 solution combines EDR with EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform), which detects malicious activity and provides remediation capabilities needed to respond to dynamic security incidents.
Adaptive Defense 360 classifies 100% of active processes on endpoints, guaranteeing protection against attacks, and does so with complete visibility for your business.
You can secure your business for the future by protecting your assets today.
