An informative read here from Sean M. Kerner detailing the very recent discovery at Halliburton of unauthorised access in its systems and the actions taken in response to the cyberattack. Here are some best practices Sean outlines to limit cyberattack risk and its consequences that you may have been considering for your organisation: Conduct Risk Evaluations. Regular cybersecurity risk assessments are essential for identifying and addressing vulnerabilities to prevent and reduce security incidents. Conduct Security Training and Awareness. Ensure employees understand current threats and best practices for mitigating them with regular education via a cybersecurity awareness training program. Monitor Threat Detection. Advanced threat detection tools and skilled analysts that continuously monitor network activity can quickly identify and act on irregularities. Harden Authentication and Access Controls. All users should employ multifactor authentication, especially those with access to vital systems. Implement a Zero-Trust Security Strategy. By ensuring that each access request is validated, zero-trust architecture lowers the possibility of unwanted access. The experienced team at concyse Cyber Security & Network protects local and global organisations in need of a hand with the evaluation, planning, implementation and management of each of these critical services.
