Episode 114: Invest in investigation tools, forensics Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

A hacker breaches your system and causes any number of problems. Figuring out how they got in and what you can do to prevent it is a key part of your response.

As Sophos security experts put it: "The more data that is collected – from the endpoints and beyond – the more context is available during investigation. Having broader visibility will allow your team to not only determine what the attackers targeted but how they gained entry into the environment and if they still have the ability to access it again."

Episode 113: Knowing who has access to what is a critical part of your security, incident response plan Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

Not everyone in your organization should have access to the same parts of your network or to all your data. It only makes sense that the marketing team and the human resources team have distinct roles and each doesn't need access to the same data and systems in order to do what they need to do. Establishing proper access controls is fundamental to your day-to-day operations and to your cybersecurity. Businesses that fail to track, control, and keep access levels up to date run the risk of opening gaping vulnerabilities in their security. In this episode of the CYBER24 podcast, presented by VLCM, we discuss the importance of proper access controls and how it is an essential part of your incident response plan.

Businesses that fall victim to cybercrime often use the term, "blindsided." Not seeing an attack coming is one thing and responding to one without maximum visibility compounds your problems. What do you need to make sure you can see what a hacker is doing so you can stop it? We discuss that in this episode of the CYBER24 podcast, presented by VLCM.

Episode 111: Keys to buying the cyber insurance policy that's right for your business Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

Ransomware incidents rose sharply in 2019 and that trend only continued in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic had businesses shifting to remote work and cybercriminals found more vulnerabilities they could exploit. The right cyber insurance policy could make all the difference if your business is hit by hackers.

With ransomware attacks on the rise more businesses are protecting themselves with cyber insurance policies. These polices can cover the cost of digital forensics, regulatory compliance and even ransom demanded by hackers. So, does your business need a cyber insurance policy? And what exactly should you know as you make decisions about the kind of coverage you need?

We talk with insurance executive Jonathan Stutz of Moreton and Company to give you everything you need to know about cyber insurance.

The worst time to make decisions is in the heat of the moment. When your business is hit with a cyberattack, you need a strategy in place to respond to the threat while getting your team back up and working as quickly as possible.

Episode 106: Your business risks 'death by cyber attack' without an incident response plan Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

Cybersecurity can mean different things to different businesses but it should never be ignored. A recent Forbes article makes the case that businesses should focus not only on cybersecurity (keeping hackers from committing a crime at your expense) but also on cyber resilience (keeping your business alive and getting back to full throttle after a cybercrime is committed). When a hacker is successful, your team is suddenly pulled from what they do best to deal with data recovery, regulators and upset customers. So, you should ask yourself what are we doing to prevent a hacker from causing us trouble and what are we going to do if a hacker is successful.
