When you think of cybersecurity, what’s the first thing to come to mind? Most of the time, it might be your business’s IT team, who run around worrying about updates, threats, and computing capacity. The reality is that cybersecurity isn’t just the IT department’s concern — it’s everyone’s.
Research suggests that cybercriminals will steal 33 billion records in the year 2023, and half of all global data breaches will occur in the U.S. If you want a hope of a stopping them from stealing from your business, then you need all hands on deck — from both your administrative team to the sales team to the C-suite.
Why is building a comprehensive cybersecurity policy with features that cover everyone and their devices so important? Because everyone (and their devices) can be a threat. Here’s what you need to know about strengthening your cybersecurity as we head into the new decade.
Why ‘comprehensive’ includes everyone at work
Comprehensive cybersecurity practices usually include items like:
Threat risk analysis
System vulnerability analysis
Impact assessments
Security environment analysis
But, to be totally effective, these need to consider not only the high-value and high-risk processes and procedures but everything in between. Why? Because while it’s true that your security is only as good as your software, you also need to limit the extent to which you expose those systems to threats.
In today’s hyper-connected world, there are millions of opportunities to bare your security infrastructure to the world. Two of the biggest threats actually come down to your employees. First, they now complete the vast majority of their work online, which means both internet security and access are critical to your core processes. As more and more of your work happens in the cloud, you simultaneously create more vulnerabilities.
Second, your employees also carry more internet-connected devices than ever — and they probably access company data on them. The cybersecurity threats created by the Internet of Things (IoT) are stunning: one survey found that 54% of consumers own at least four IoT devices, but only 14% say they know how to secure them.
This is a huge problem because only 31% of employees receive annual cybersecurity training.
Consider the Threat of Internal Sources
To be clear: hackers are a problem. The prevalence of malware, phishing, ransomware, and DDoS attacks has grown year-on-year, and your business could be the next target. What you might not realize, however, is that the biggest threat to your business could already be in |
