| Titre | De réactif à proactif: déplacer votre stratégie de cybersécurité From Reactive to Proactive: Shifting Your Cybersecurity Strategy |

Most companies have some cybersecurity protocols in place in case of a breach. They could be anything from antivirus software to spam filters. Those are considered reactive security measures because they tell you once a threat has already become a reality. By then, the damage may already be done, and your company could be in hot water. Instead, your business needs to pair those reactive strategies with proactive ideas. These are plans you can put in place to keep an eye on trends and your potential vulnerabilities so you can catch and prevent a threat before it comes to fruition. Here are a few strategies to set your company on the right path. Know And Anticipate The Threats As technology evolves, the risk of cybercrime continues to elevate to all new levels. If you’re a business owner, you need only to see cybersecurity by the numbers to see that you must take proactive action. A survey in 2023 found that ransomware attacks, where a hacker takes control of your systems until you pay a ransom, continue to be one of the primary threats to medium-sized businesses. They found that one ransomware attack occurs every 10 seconds. Remember, you don’t need to be a major corporation to be on the radar of cybercriminals. Almost every business has data that can be used maliciously by hackers. Possibly even more alarming is that a hacker can break into your network in less than five hours. That means, if you aren’t being proactive, you could find out about a threat after the hacker gains access and the damage has been done. Staying Ahead Of The Curve In addition to watching out for known threats, your company must proactively protect against future threats. You need to be ahead of the curve, especially during the age of artificial intelligence. The rise of programs like ChatGPT and generative AI means that hackers have many new avenues to hack your systems. At this point, less than 10% of companies are prepared to tackle generative AI risks. Because of this lack of understanding and proactive security, there’s been a spike in cybersecurity events. If your company needs to be well-versed in the proactive measures that can protect against these upcoming threats, then you need to be. You can try several proactive cybersecurity tactics, including penetration testing, which is the process of bringing in skilled hackers to do their best to breach your company’s defenses. The best hackers will know the newest tricks, from AI techniques to vishing attacks, so you can get ahead of the game. You can also use advanced analytics to detect issues, such as predictive modeling, which will analyze past transactions and look for unusual behavior and characteristics to find potential threats so you can take action. Cybersecurity Training Is A Must The best way to be proactive against potential cyber threats is to have as many eyes on your systems and processes as possible. So, you need to get all of your employees in on the act. It’s essential to create an effective cybersecurity training program. Ideally, this training would occur during the new hire orientation so everyone is on the same page from day one. Then, have ongoing supplementary training each year. During this training, teach your team about the common cyber attacks, from password hacking to phishing scams. A phishing email is typically only successful if your employee takes the bait and clicks the included link or attachment. So, teach them about the red flags of phishing emails and to look closely at the sender |
