A security breach can remain active for months before being identified and contained. According to IBM, companies take an average of 247 days to complete this process.<\/p>\n

For years, cybersecurity was seen as a technological component mainly focused to block threats. However, the current situation has shown that protect the infrastructure is not enough.<\/p>\n

Organizations operate in environments increasingly complex, with users logged in from different locations, cloud applications, mobile devices, third-party providers and a growing volume of information circulating within and outside the company.<\/p>\n

For this reason, a security breach can have consequences that go far beyond the loss of information. May cause interruptions, affect productivity, delaying projects, generate breaches, impacting revenue, and even damage the reputation of a brand.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the question that must be done is:<\/p>\n

What we're prepared to confront an incident from the time that appears to the operational turnaround?<\/p>\n

The reality: no environment is completely immune<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In many cases, it still focuses a large part of the prevention efforts. Implement anti-virus, firewalls, access policies, and different layers of protection with the objective to prevent a threat comes to the systems.<\/p>\n

These steps are critical, but there is a reality that cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n

No security control completely eliminates the risk.<\/p>\n

The attacks are constantly evolving, the social engineering techniques are becoming more sophisticated and human errors continue to be a frequent entry point for threats.<\/p>\n

An employee clicks on a malicious link, a password is reused, a privileged access mismanaged or a vulnerability uncorrected can become the source of an incident with important consequences.<\/p>\n

For this reason, a cybersecurity strategy should not focus on avoid an attack. You should also consider what to do when a threat manages to get through the defenses.<\/p>\n

That is to say, the ability to protect, detect, respond to, recover and learn from each incident.<\/p>\n

1. Protect: to reduce the attack surface<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every strategy begins to strengthen the defenses.<\/p>\n

The phase of protection seeks to limit the chances of a threat gains access to corporate resources.<\/p>\n

Among the most relevant aspects are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Identity protection and access.<\/li>\n
  • Multifactor authentication.<\/li>\n
  • Management and monitoring of endpoints.<\/li>\n
  • Email protection.<\/li>\n
  • Management of vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n
  • Secure configuration of devices.<\/li>\n
  • Protection of sensitive information.<\/li>\n
  • Implementation of security policies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    However, one of the most common mistakes is to assume that the work ends here.<\/p>\n

    The true maturity begins when the organization recognizes that, even with all of these controls in place, incidents can occur.<\/p>\n

    And when that happens, the speed of detection marks a fundamental difference.<\/p>\n

    2. Detect: identify threats before they escalate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Every day we generate thousands of events within an organization.<\/p>\n

    Logins, remote connections, file transfers, changes in settings, use applications in the cloud and activity in different devices that are part of the normal operation.<\/p>\n

    Be more alert does not necessarily mean having more security.<\/strong> If the computer you are receiving too many notifications, it can be more difficult to identify those that really represent a risk.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, the detection should allow to relate information from different sources, to identify unusual behaviors and prioritize events. It is also important to have enough context to understand what is happening and make decisions before the threat progress.<\/p>\n

    This is especially relevant because a malicious activity that remains without identifying you can progressively extend your reach, engage with other systems or access to sensitive information.<\/p>\n

    3. Answer: to act when every minute counts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Detect a threat is important, but to identify it does not mean that the problem is solved. When an incident occurs, the company needs to know what to do next.<\/p>\n

    At that time, questions can arise, such as:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Who receives the warning?<\/li>\n
    • Who determines if it is a real threat?<\/li>\n
    • Who can make decisions?<\/li>\n
    • What actions should be implemented to contain the incident?<\/li>\n
    • How do I reduce the impact on the operation?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      When these responsibilities are not defined, the response may be delayed in a critical moment. It is necessary to investigate what happened, determine what systems or accounts may be compromised and execute the actions necessary to contain the threat.<\/p>\n

      The difference is not only in detecting the incident, but in the speed with which the organization can act after you detect it.<\/p>\n

      4. Recover: to re-operate with confidence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Contain a threat does not mean that the operation can immediately return to normal. After an incident recovery begins.<\/p>\n

      It is necessary to know how long it would take to restore the information, what systems should recover first, and if the backups available can be used when they are needed.<\/p>\n

      The recovery needs to consider different scenarios, such as:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Attacks of ransomware<\/li>\n
      • Accidental deletion of information<\/li>\n
      • Compromise of privileged accounts<\/li>\n
      • Data corruption<\/li>\n
      • Human errors<\/li>\n
      • Incidents in hybrid environments or in the cloud<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The backups must be protected, available and recoverable when the business needs them.<\/p>\n

        In addition, it is important to periodically test recovery processes to see if they really work and how much time would it take to re-launch the mission-critical systems.<\/p>\n

        5. Improve: to turn every incident into an opportunity of strengthening<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        The organizations that are more mature to understand that cybersecurity is an ongoing process.<\/p>\n

        Each alert, incident or vulnerability is discovered provides valuable information to strengthen the security posture.<\/p>\n

        Analyze what happened, identify gaps in control, update procedures, and strengthen capabilities allows to reduce future risks and increase the level of preparation.<\/p>\n

        Beyond protection: build the resilience of digital<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Cyber security modern, as is not only to implement tools. Is to build a comprehensive strategy that can accompany the company during the entire cycle of a threat.<\/p>\n

        Protect \u2192 Detecting \u2192 Reply \u2192 Recover \u2192 Improve<\/strong><\/p>\n

        That is the focus of Guardian 360, integrating capabilities of protection, monitoring, incident management, backup and recovery within an ongoing strategy that will allow to strengthen your security and to respond more effectively to an increasingly complex environment.<\/p>\n

        Because the question is not if it will occur an incident.<\/p>\n

        Is how prepared is your organization to operate when it happens.<\/p>\n
