Practical advice

Things every person, place, and thing should do

Patching your phones and computers is the cheapest and easiest way to avoid becoming victim number two, and beyond!

Malware will eventually get into any network -- so ensure that it gets stuck in a little segment and doesn’t take down your entire enterprise!

Plugging into threat intelligence feeds from the government and commercial feeds will avoid many known threats!

Your insiders will carry out hostile actions on your network, whether knowingly or unknowingly, so it’s incumbent on you to keep an eye inside!

Shortages in cyber talent shouldn’t stop you from doing the right things, if you automate as much of your detection-through-response operations as possible!

Knowing what to do after an attack needs to be planned, trained, and practiced before the attack. It saves time, money, reputation, and maybe your job!

Working with government organizations like federal law enforcement is a great way to lower your risks, but remember to start the conversations before an attack!

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue; it’s a business issue, and must be considered at the highest levels of your organization!

Your reputation is not just based on how you protect yourself, but your entire supply chain of suppliers and partners are now partly your risk and responsibility!
