Next Generation Cybersecurity

It is critical to recall that, we live henceforth in the digital landscape, where threats and sophisticated cybersecurity attacks are mounted and operated in real-time by isolated hackers, organized crime, and nation-state.

Based on this grim reality, Connectikpeople.co recommends enterprises to focus on the following recommendations when it comes to deal with the next generation Cybersecurity.  

Organizations should appropriate:

·        Continuous Diagnostic Mitigation (CDM) approach:( an accurate, current baseline of knowledge and an understanding of everything in the system and who has access to it);

·        Manage people and their access to systems;

·        Adopt permanent trainings and best practices to manage system access, credentials, human behaviors;

·        Establish protective boundaries to ensure the security and integrity of data, applications and infrastructures;

Organizations must adopt a zero-trust model in which they never trust and always verify. Being breached must be viewed as the rule, not the exception. 

Organizations need to make a clear distinction between authentication and authorization. An automated process should replace manual processes to instantly determine the level of access granted based on a predetermined set of rules and conditions.

Employees should be made aware of hacking techniques, including information harvesting via social media, fake links and clone log-in sites, and be armed with the knowledge to avoid these tactics. 

Employees should adopt best practices and be instructed to use two-factor authentication for all personal sites, manually enter all log-in web addresses, be wary of calls from headhunters digging for information on job responsibilities and never re-use passwords.
