Strengthening Cybersecurity Preparedness With Defense In Depth
HelpNet Security, Thursday, July 11th, 2024
In this Help Net Security interview, Chaim Mazal, Chief Security Officer at Gigamon, discusses cybersecurity preparedness measures for businesses, the impact of international inconsistencies on global operations, and the board's role in cybersecurity.
What are the top cybersecurity preparedness measures that businesses should implement?
Continuous and ongoing threat modelling is very important for modern businesses. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, making a static approach to security incredibly risky. Similarly, practicing defence in depth through layered security monitoring and tooling can prepare organisations to detect suspicious behaviour within a system and react fast, before threat actors can access the most sensitive data and operations. This informs a critical measure: zero trust. Successful businesses must be able to decipher lateral movements within their organisation, and to limit unauthorised movements within micro-perimeters.
