World Cybersecurity Day
Today’s enterprise environment is much more vulnerable because the attack surface on enterprises has increased with telecommuting and hybrid infrastructures with cloud services.
At Centria we constantly see how many organizations invest money in technology, in robust systems, in tools and equipment to protect their systems and assets, but, nevertheless, they often forget about good practices, so that the maxim that the chain is only as strong as its weakest link is fulfilled time and time again. And what is that link, people?
𝗟𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂́𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝟵𝟱% 𝗹𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗻 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗼.
And how can we reduce this problem? Centria has always recommended training and awareness plans for users. These must be addressed to both managers and employees. Each group has a specific profile of security, training and awareness needs.
𝗦𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗱 𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝗴𝗼𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗼 𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝗮 𝗹𝗮 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻.
The advantages of this awareness are many, but we highlight:
- Increase the organization's security against cyber-attacks.
- Create collective employee awareness and reduce passive employee behavior.
- Reduce risks and improve business peace of mind.
- Improve the company's internal audits and certifications.
- Improve internal communication procedures.
If human error is reduced, we gain in safety. To do so, awareness-raising, training and role-playing tools have to be used, where both managers and employees have to manage crisis situations and ensure that the organization survives.
