| Titre | The 5 most crucial Cybersecurity updates for businesses in 2021 |
| Texte | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. For as long as businesses have used computers, cybersecurity has been crucial. Now, as modern business and data are becoming inseparable, it’s an absolute necessity. As companies start to recover from 2020 losses, they should consider investing in security updates. Cybercrime reached new heights in the past year, with internet crime reports rising 69.4% and costing more than $4.2 billion. Now that more companies are embracing digital services after the pandemic, this trend will likely continue. All businesses, regardless of size or industry, must revisit their cybersecurity. Here are the five most important cybersecurity updates for this year. 1. Implementing a Zero-Trust framework The single most crucial cybersecurity upgrade for businesses this year is adopting a zero-trust security framework. These systems, which rely on network segmentation and thorough user verification, aren’t new but are increasingly crucial. In light of rising cyberthreats, companies can’t afford to trust anything inside or outside their networks without proof. A 2020 survey found that 82% of company leaders plan to let their employees work remotely at least part time after the pandemic. That many people accessing data remotely raises security concerns. Hackers could pose as remote workers to gain access or install spyware, and IT teams wouldn’t know it. Zero-trust models mitigate these threats. Verifying user identity at every step helps guarantee only employees can access mission-critical data. Segmentation ensures that only those who need access can get it, and if a breach occurs, it won’t impact the entire network. 2. Securing machine learning training data Machine learning algorithms are becoming increasingly common among companies in various industries. These models take considerable amounts of data to train, which presents an enticing opportunity for cybercriminals. As more companies rely on machine learning, more threat actors will likely try to poison the training data. By injecting incorrect or corrupt data into the training pool, cybercriminals could manipulate a machine learning system. If companies don’t catch the problem before it’s too late, the algorithms they rely on could influence poor or even harmful business decisions. Given this threat, securing machine learning training data is a must. Businesses should carefully inspect the information they use to train machine learning models. They should also enact stricter access controls over training pools, including activity monitoring. 3. Verifying third-party and partner security Businesses should also look outward when improving their cybersecurity. The growing public awareness of cyberthreats is changing expectations about visibility, and that’s a good thing. It’s no longer sufficient to trust that a business partner or third party has robust data security. Companies must verify it. Third-party data breaches in 2020 exposed millions of records, and major events like the SolarWinds hack have revealed how fragile some systems are. In light of these risks, businesses must ask all potential partners to prove |
