We know that most companies are on the path to a secure environment. Some organizations have a mature security presence and have enforced policies, while others are just beginning to budget for those first steps to protect organizational infrastructure and data. Here are 3 tips to get you started or keep you on track to reducing business risk.

1.     Taking the right measures.

In order to reduce company wide security risks, start with a focus on Data Security, Malware and Threats. Remember, while it is essential to implement the best security product for your environment, any product is useless without constant care and feeding, otherwise known as maintenance and monitoring.

2.     It’s how you respond that matters.

We all know that breaches are inevitable; it’s how you respond that makes the difference. Having an incident response plan in place that outlines how a breach will be addressed can save you precious time. When creating your plan, be sure to address the following processes:

•      making an initial assessment
•         communicating the incident
•         containing the damage and risk
•         identifying the type and severity of the compromise
•        collecting evidence
•        notifying external agencies if needed
•        recovering systems

3.     Start making improvements.

One way to improve your data security process is to regularly run user activity reports for file shares and other unstructured data that threat actors may try to access. Better yet, have a system process created to send an alert to your SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) where a security team member can quickly respond within minutes of a violation.
