FY25 A.I. Five Cyber Security Strategies You Can't Be Without
Proactive Technology Refresh: Regularly updating and upgrading technology to stay ahead of potential threats and vulnerabilities. Example: Implementing the latest security patches and software updates to protect against new types of cyber attacks.
Well-Integrated Security Technologies: Ensuring that all security tools and systems work seamlessly together for better protection. Example: Using a unified security platform that integrates firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and antivirus software to provide comprehensive coverage.
Timely Incident Response: Developing capabilities to quickly and effectively respond to security incidents. Example: Having a dedicated incident response team that can investigate and mitigate breaches within hours of detection.
Accurate Threat Detection: Implementing systems that can accurately identify and alert on potential security threats. Example: Using advanced threat detection tools that leverage machine learning to identify unusual patterns and behaviors indicative of a cyber attack.
Prompt Disaster Recovery: Establishing robust recovery processes to minimize downtime and data loss after a security incident. Example: Regularly backing up critical data and having a disaster recovery plan in place to restore operations quickly after an attack.
