Cybersecurity

What is cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is the collection of technologies, best practices, and processes used to protect your IT infrastructure, systems, networks, and devices from harmful threats. It relies on employees to know how to detect and address cyberattacks, as well as sophisticated technologies that make it more difficult for individuals to infiltrate your IT infrastructure.

With a global workforce that has become increasingly remote, cybersecurity has been a pressing concern for many organizations. Effectively securing devices and networks that are outside an organization’s IT infrastructure is crucial in order to fortify your cybersecurity measures and keep your organization out of harm’s way.

Considering the average data breach costs organizations $3.8 million (USD) globally, the need for effective cybersecurity solutions has never been more important. As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated and harder to detect, organizations must lean on AI-based cybersecurity solutions to automate the prevention, detection, and remediation of cyberattacks in order to effectively curb threats before it’s too late.

How to get the best level of cybersecurity

The collective losses of recent cyberattacks are insurmountable, and the prospect of the situation getting worse is all but guaranteed. Cybersecurity awareness is a worthwhile investment, but it isn’t cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity awareness training wisely focuses on the human element of cyberattacks—the mistakes that open the doors to a business’s systems and data. In phishing training, we’re taught to choose difficult passwords, change them frequently without ever sharing them, never click on a phishing link, and follow a variety of other best practices. In a perfect world, we would follow these rules.

Training your users to understand the technology designed to protect them teaches your users the limits of cybersecurity when people are the target and their role in strengthening it. Knowing they are actively involved in the evolution of the technology and experiencing the benefits of the improvements is what encourages users to report. In the same way cybersecurity experts form communities—often composed of competing vendors—you’re creating a community of reporters who are actively involved in protecting your business and, ultimately, their own livelihoods.
