10 Tips to Mitigate Data Breaches

With a Here are a few tips that have stood the test of time, followed with a reference list of some vendor resources that can help you improve your incident response. 1. Prioritize Data Protection The downfall of many security strategies is that they become too general and too thinly spread. Some level of prioritization can increase effectiveness by seeking to only safeguard the most important assets. “Stop trying to protect everything,” said Ray Boisvert, CEO of 2. Document Your Response Process Best practices in incident response demand that you have a documented process and follow it. Stress levels rise during attacks, and you’re likely to be pulled in many directions, leading to the omission of some key actions. Jake Williams, a certified instructor with the “Documentation during the incident is vital and checklists can help,” he said. 3. Make Users Part of the Process An often forgotten aspect of incident response is to inform end-users. For example, say a group has had their user credentials stolen. The minute IT knows that’s happened is when the clock starts ticking. Immediately inform affected users that they should change their passwords. “Making users part of the process is a critical component and best practice,” said Rajneesh Chopra, vice president of Product Management, 4. Understand Business Context You may be required to take systems and applications offline for analysis during an investigation. When investigating a system for potential compromise, it’s crit...

The CIA triad: Definition, components and examples

What is the CIA triad? The CIA triad components, defined The CIA triad is a widely used information security model that can guide an organization's efforts and policies aimed at keeping its data secure. The model has nothing to do with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency; rather, the initials stand for the three principles on which infosec rests: • Confidentiality: Only authorized users and processes should be able to access or modify data • Integrity: Data should be maintained in a correct state and nobody should be able to improperly modify it, either accidentally or maliciously • Availability: Authorized users should be able to access data whenever they need to do so These three principles are obviously top of mind for any infosec professional. But considering them as a triad forces security pros to do the tough work of thinking about how they overlap and can sometimes be in opposition to one another, which can help in establishing priorities in the implementation of security policies. We'll discuss each of these principles in more detail in a moment, but first let's talk about the origins and importance of the triad. Who created the CIA triad, and when? Unlike many foundational concepts in infosec, the CIA triad doesn't seem to have a single creator or proponent; rather, it emerged over time as an article of wisdom among information security pros. Ben Miller, a VP at cybersecurity firm Dragos, traces back It's also not entirely clear when the three concepts began to b...

Ransomware Mitigation

Ransomware has rapidly become one of the biggest global threats our businesses and institutions face today. These attacks—which infiltrate our networks, lock up critical data, and demand a substantial ransom in cryptocurrency to restore vital information—have reached crisis proportions, especially in areas like healthcare and government. There are even criminal “help desks” that collect a fee for helping victims manage the ransomware process Even as ransomware attacks become ubiquitous, they are evolving into more sophisticated and targeted threats . Ransomware software from these criminal cyber gangs ( Here’s how it works: Why should preventing and mitigating ransomware be a top priority? Research performed by Delinea confirms that having strategies for mitigating ransomware threats and an incident response plan that is incident-ready must be a top priority for every organization. In fact, Delinea’s l atest State of Ransomware Survey & Report reveals two out of three companies surveyed were victims of a cyberattack in the last 12 months— and more than 80% felt they had no choice but to pay the ransom demands. Such numbers are shocking and a huge warning to the rest of us that ransomware is here to stay until we become resilient resulting in fewer ransomware payments. We must recognize a ransomware attack is not a matter of “if” but “when.” How we are prepared to respond to the challenge has far-reaching consequences. What are the risks that come with ransomware attacks? I...
