While organizational leaders and IT owners keep a watchful eye on emerging threats and trends from the previous year, much of their cybersecurity strategy will need to be founded on how well their businesses can respond to an attack. While the risk of cyberattacks is an undeniable reality, cyber preparedness can significantly differentiate successful businesses from those struggling to manage after a cyber event.  In particular, Chief Information Security Officers ( CISOs ) will be building plans to ensure a quick and effective return to normal operations in the face of attack. This post covers how to evaluate the business’s current cyber preparedness, how to plan for a cyberattack and what to do after an attack has occurred. It offers guidelines on the key elements CISOs and IT leaders will need to focus on as they bolster their defense strategies in light of the current threat landscape.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are constantly faced with new cybersecurity threats. With the increasing prevalence of cyberattacks, it's more crucial than ever for SMBs to take proactive measures to protect their data and digital assets. One such measure is the implementation of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), a security model that requires all users and devices to be authenticated and authorized before accessing network resources.

Email authentication is foundational in maintaining trust and security in digital communications. It serves as a crucial line of defense against phishing, email spoofing, and other cyber threats that exploit the trust users place in email communications.  Email fraud and phishing pose significant challenges in the way of business email communications. Cybercriminals utilize sophisticated techniques to craft deceptive emails that appear genuine, luring recipients into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials, financial data, or personal details. This highlights the need for email authentication techniques like DMARC.
