Five principles for improving your cyber securityWGroup
Corporate assets have been shifting from physical assets to virtual assets over the past 20 years. This trend has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in the vulnerability of intangible assets, leading to a greater general awareness of corporate cyber security risks. The alteration or destruction of a company’s data can result in harm to reputation, loss of public confidence, disruption to infrastructure, and legal sanctions. The security risk can adversely impact a company’s stock price and competitive position in the marketplace. In this document, WGroup cites 5 principles that will help improve a business's cyber security. The 5 principles are risk identification, risk management, legal implications, technical expertise, and expectations.

A Time of Great Risk: The Time Between Compromise and Mitigation
In most organizations today, threat detection is based on various security sensors that attempt to look for anomalous behavior or for known signatures of malicious activity. These sensors include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), application gateways, anti- virus/anti-malware, endpoint protection, and more. They operate at and provide visibility into all layers of the IT stack.

How to secure information systems?
Solution
Answer:
Information security:
Information security, sometimes shortened to InfoSec, is the practice of halting unauthorized
access, use, revelation, disordering, modification, investigation, recording or destruction of
information. It is a general term that can be used regardless of the form the data may take (e.g.
electronic, physical).
Since the advent of the internet and increased expansion of computer based technology in
today\'s corporations, information security breaches have increased at an alarming rate. While
businesses take a more cautious approach to how they handle IT security threats, these are
becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated. Denial-of-service attacks, software tampering
(e.g. Trojan horses and computer viruses) and social engineering techniques (e.g. phishing) are
some examples becoming prevalent. While we often times hear of the more widely publicized
embezzlement, money laundering, burglary and bribery statistics, data has shown that companies
have seen greater losses from losses attributed to information security breaches.
One of the most effective ways to prevent criminals from accessing and compromising
confidential company information is to implement an effective information security plan and
properly train firm employees accessing the system. Additionally, companies should implement
a dynamic and independent third party auditor to frequently test the adequacy of their security
system. Lastly, key responsibilities within the information security chain should be segregated
and rotated frequently. If companies follow these three basic tenets, they will be one step closer
to the effective security of their information.
Threats to Information Systems:
Information security threats come in many different forms. Some of the most common threats
today are software attacks, theft of intellectual property, identity theft, theft of equipment or
information, sabotage, and information infiltration Some of the most prevalent types of data
infiltration include input manipulation, program manipulation, data input manipulation, data
stealing, and outright sabotage. The most frequent type associated with this form of fraud is
manipulation of the data. The reason for this most common is because the criminal requires the
less amount of skill.
Most people have experienced software attacks of some sort. Viruses, worms, phishing
attacks, and Trojan horses are a few common examples of software attacks. Governments,
military, corporations, financial institutions, hospitals and private businesses amass a great deal
of confidential information about their employees, customers, products, research and financial
status. Most of this information is now collected, processed and stored on electronic computers
and transmitted across networks to other computers.
Implementing a Information Security System:
With so many different ways and so much potential for breaches to information security
systems.
How close is your organization to being breached | Safe SecurityRahul Tyagi
Traditional methods are certainly limited in
their capabilities and this is easily proven by
the multitude of breaches businesses were a
victim of, across the globe. The 2020 Q3 Data
Breach QuickView Report revealed that the
number of records exposed in 2020 has
increased to 36 billion globally. The report
stated that there were 2,953 publicly
reported breaches in the first three quarters
of 2020 itself! 2020 is already named the
“worst year on record” by the end of Q2 in
terms of the total number of records
exposed. With the growing sophistication of
cyber-attacks and global damages related
to cybercrime reaching $6 trillion by 2021, we
need a solution that simplifies
cybersecurity.

Address Threat Management - No Ifs and Buts
1. Address Threat Management- No Ifs and Buts
Statistics prove beyond doubt that cyber criminals are after the sensitive and confidential information of the
enterprises. Hence, in normal circumstances, the greatest concern of any enterprise today should be information
security. However, the shocking fact is that majority of enterprises do not monitor security and the reason for such
an attitude is the high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), poor risk management, lack of automation and adequate
integrated solutions. Though for enterprises these may be genuine reasons for not monitoring security, but these
are not acceptable when taking into account the big picture. Therefore, there can be no ifs and buts when it comes
to ensuring threat management.
Information is the lifeblood of any enterprise, its greatest asset, as it is this information that drives businesses. The
success of any business enterprise largely depends on the confidentiality, reliability, availability, and security of
information. Every enterprise generates and mines huge chunks of data every minute. This data carries potential
risks and therefore it should be handled very carefully. According to McAfee’s Unsecured Economies Report,
businesses lose more than $1 trillion in intellectual property, due to data theft and cybercrime annually on a global
basis. This is one of the reasons why the federal government formulated several regulations such as HIPAA,
HITECH, PCI DSS, ISO, COBIT, FISMA, SOX, BASEL II and so on and adopted a carrot and stick approach to ensure
that the enterprises comply with these regulations. Therefore, when enterprises fail to monitor security, they are
actually taking enormous long-term risks at the expense of any short-term cost advantages.
Depending on point solutions such as firewalls, antivirus, spam filters and so on are not enough to counter new
age security threats. Enterprises need a unified security monitoring solution that allows their users to access
applications and information where and when it is required, without exposing the organization to security threats,
data loss and compliance risks. With automated enterprise compliance management software, enterprises get
end-to-end integration of security monitoring with IT governance risk and compliance (IT GRC).
Hence, instead of taking a laid-back attitude and then lamenting about the loss, enterprises need to proactively
deploy effective information security and compliance management solutions and be relaxed.
