Cyber Security

Cyber Security, the Landscape

Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It's essentially all about keeping your information safe in the digital world.

The digital (& cybersecurity) landscape is now a minefield, where unseen dangers lurk, ready to exploit weaknesses. Imagine leaving your front door unlocked – that's how many systems operate online. Deceptive tricks, like fake emails, lure people into revealing secrets, while digital traps scramble valuable information and hold it hostage. Keeping up with these ever-changing threats is a constant battle, especially when resources are tight.

Simple mistakes, like weak passwords or clicking the wrong link, can open wide the gates to trouble. Protecting valuable data requires constant vigilance: locking down systems, updating defenses, and training everyone to spot the dangers. It’s not just about stopping attacks; it’s about having a plan to recover if the worst happens. In today's interconnected world, staying safe online is no longer a choice—it’s essential for survival.

The Past

Not so long ago the term Cyber Security didn't exist in the general vernacular, it wasn't a profession and all a business really needed was an annual license for their antivirus subscription because the majority of risks only came from inside the network gates.

Present

Today 's technology has moved everyone to the cloud which is outside the protection of the traditional network. Mobile devices, browser extensions, online apps and unsecured networks are at the fore front of the risk to your business.
Threats come silently from unknown assailants, usually initiated overseas somewhere through an unknown vulnerability somewhere you wouldn't have considered was a risk.

Cyber Security Risks are mitigated in the following ways:

Risk Reduction

This involves making it harder for attackers to infiltrate your systems.

This can involve using strong passwords, keeping software updated, and being cautious about clicking on links or opening attachments in emails.

Security Controls

These are tools and techniques that help to identify and prevent cyberattacks.

Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption are all common security controls.

Detection and Response

Even with the best defences, some attacks may get through.

Having a plan to detect and respond to security incidents can help to minimize the damage.

This might involve having a team to investigate suspicious activity and a plan for restoring systems if they are compromised.
