1. How Cyber Resilience
Enables Business Growth
We live in a period of technological advancement that is unprecedented. We're more
connected to our work and personal lives than before. If you can think it and print it
with 3D printers. For instance, the Nanobots of the Terminator movies are used
frequently for medical procedures. Cars are self-driving - or at the very least, are
trying!
Technology isn't just limited to only the good guys. Every technological advance that
makes our lives more pleasant easy, simpler, and more comfortable, there's a good
chance that we'll encounter two new techniques for cyber -attacks that are new
malware that aim to destroy our companies and bank accounts.
A quick Google search will reveal that security tools are being chall enged by an ever-
changing threat landscape. For companies of all sizes and across all sectors it's not a
matter of whether or not they're being attacked, but of the time. It's undisputed that the
perimeter of a business will be breached at some time. Therefore, as security experts
accept the fact that they are unable to stop attacks from occurring it is time to develop
an entirely new approach: resilience.
The definition of cyber resilience
If there's one thing that the that the global turmoil of the last f ew years has taught
everyone that is how to be prepared for unanticipated risks. This is the reason why at
Bitdefender we believe that both the prevention and detection of threats and reaction,
are essential equally. It is crucial to stop attacks from causing security issues at all
times feasible, however it is equally crucial to have a well -designed response and
detection strategy which takes into account the company's risk tolerance.
Bitdefender describes cyber-resilience as the capability to protect data and systems
security, integrity and confidentiality in order to prevent cyberattacks from creating
incidents, or by detecting and responding in a way that restricts impact within a
defined risk tolerance.
If you imagine an athlete in a fight you can be su re they're going to be hit. The key to
avoiding risk is knowing the time, place and manner in which they're most likely
struck. Resiliency refers to how well they're able to take the punishment when it's due.
Adapt or die
In 2017 The SANS Institute made the claim that cybersecurity isn't just a technical
problem, it's a commercial issue. In recent years, we've heard increasingly that
security teams need to be business enablers. But have the needs of our clients have
changed? How many security teams incorporate business objectives into their security
objectives? On the other hand the way they measure success using investigations, the
amount of alerts, or the amount of patches?
2. Charles Darwin famously said "It's not the strongest species that can survi ve or the
smartest that can survive. It's the one that is most able to adapt to changes." In
regards to cybersecurity, many companies struggle with changing to the new world.
Who's not struggling? The criminals. The criminal gangs of today have continued to
evolve and adapt their tactics. Take for instance the development of ransomware. The
emergence of Ransomware as a service (RaaS) in recent years, we can see that
cybercriminals have not changed their tactics or methods, but also their entire
operating strategy. There's an entire shadow economy of cybercrime companies that
imitate legitimate businesses in numerous ways. They have teams of developers and
offer software with marketing packages and even customer support.
The world is evolving around us. As a whole cybersecurity professionals are usually
doing the right thing however there appears to be a gap between what people claim
and the things they actually do. A lot of security professionals claim to be business -
oriented however they are still in love with old security software. They claim to be
proactive and not reactive, but they never fix until it's to late. They recognize that they
must take on a risk, but they insist on putting prevention first over resilience.
Moving the focus on cyber resilience
It's time for security experts to shift their attention. If we take the actions we've been
told to do and place business-related enablement at the heart of our security initiatives
and security, it will force security professionals to focus their efforts awa y from trying
to prevent an attack , to minimizing the impact on business in the eventual incident in
the event of an incident.
We are aware that people will constantly click things that they should not, and tools
might not always be configured correctly a nd each organization will likely have some
older applications that are vital to the operation. So, we need to be ready. Being cyber
resilient means asking yourself two key questions:
1. If I'm targeted, can I tell that it's happening?
2. If I'm aware that something is happening what can I do
to protect my company?
If a company is planning to survive and recover from the inevitable attacks when it
occurs then its security staff will need to be able to say "Yes" to both of the above
questions. This is a requirement for certain security features. The ability to detect an
attack requires continuous monitoring across all endpoints and servers, networks and
cloud workloads, as well as identities. It is essential to have 24/7 surveillance as well
as visibility across the enterprise ecosystem, and the ability to cross -correlate
telemetry data from sensors on the endpoint as well as non -endpoints to spot
suspicious activities. Protection of the company requires efficient methods of response
and remediation and the ability to backup, recover from disasters, and capability to
respond to incidents.
designed for resiliency
In a world of constant connectivity, where hackers are seeking to cause damage 24
hours a day, and companies face uncertain risks, Bitdefender solutions are built to
ensure security and resilience. We've created an Blueprint for Cyber Resilience - A
3. comprehensive list of capabilities and solutions essential for businesses to be more
secure.
All of this is based on The Bitdefender GravityZone platform that is a comprehensive
threat prevention detection and response platform that is able to be utilized directly or
as managed services. Platforms are important to gain not just complete visibility
across the whole enterprise - not just the managed endpoints, but also in breaking the
security silos and helping security teams become more efficient and efficient.
The foundation of this platform are the threat-intelligence capabilities from the
Bitdefender Labs. This team of 825 top security researchers, threat hunters , and
security analysts manage 30 billion threats per every day (nearly 1,000 per second)
and detects more than 400 security threats per minute. The close collaboration of
Bitdefender Labs, our GravityZone research and development team together with
the Managed detection and Response (MDR) services team is a result of us
continually incorporating the latest security intelligence in our preventive tools
analysis, as well as MDR operations. Customers can benefit from our experts on your
side each day to keep you current with the most recent threats, and the advantage of a
greater ROI (ROI) through only one service company to choose from.
With the right technology and platform installed security teams can put b usiness
enablement at their core of their work. It is possible to shift the attention not just on
preventing attack (which occur regularly) to a more robust method of minimizing the
impact of business as well as improving the response and recovery. Utilizing a
platform-based approach, such as Bitdefender GravityZone, organizations can improve
their cyber security and less prone to risk, without having to hire more staff or buy
tools from several vendors. Security teams can be more efficient and efficient an d be a
catalyst for growth in business, rather than an obstacle.
