Studies discussed in our previous blog post highlighted the scary prevalence of cyberattacks across industries worldwide. Whether navigating through peripheral devices or applications installed on a personal computer, cybercriminals have become resourceful and adaptable to target data. On the other hand, leading solution designers have also adapted to create data security solutions that ward off cyberattacks.
Defending your operation against cyberattacks takes a proactive approach. In 2020, Gartner developed the CARE standard for cybersecurity, detailing the essential attributes a business can use to measure its security readiness. The factors include:
In addition to the mindset above, businesses are also encouraged to follow the pattern below:
Secured environments lead to increased productivity. The fewer devices on a network, the fewer operations teams need to manage and the easier it will be for employees to be productive. Using a seamless management environment that combines all allowed assets in one place, instead of multiple tools or practices simplifies the job of keeping the environment secure and safe. Security should be invisible to those that are protected by it.
