Within your incident response plan, there typically is (or should be) a trigger to notify your executive team of an impending crisis. While many organizations believe they’ve worked out the logistics of gathering leadership on the phone, getting decisions made, and garnering their support for your proposed response plan, they often find out in the heat of an incident that the leadership team is miles apart in your understanding of what happens next.

Mobile devices have become critical endpoints for accessing enterprise applications, systems and data. Adversaries know this all too well, as evidenced by the growing numbers of attacks that target mobile devices. Verizon’s 2022 Mobile Security Index found almost half (45%) of enterprises had recently suffered a mobile-related compromise involving devices in the last 12 months — almost double the amount compared to the year prior.

In an increasingly connected digital landscape, the security of your organization’s data and publicly facing assets is more critical than ever. According to the CrowdStrike 2023 Threat Hunting Report, more than 20% of all interactive intrusions are associated with the exploitation of public-facing applications. As an organization’s attack surface expands and cyberthreats proliferate, it is imperative IT and security teams take a proactive approach to safeguarding their digital footprint.

The risk of cyberattacks continues to grow for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Today, a staggering 70% of cyberattacks target SMBs, a scourge that cost organizations with fewer than 500 employees an average of $3.31 million USD in 2022, up 13.4% over the previous year. Adversaries tend to take the path of least resistance. This often means targeting small businesses, which face many of the same security threats as large organizations but lack the resources to defend against them.

All web traffic flowing out of your company network should be passing through a web proxy. These proxy logs are a great resource for threat hunting and security investigations, yet they often translate into extremely large volumes of data.

As organizations increasingly deploy business-critical workloads to managed cloud services, enforcing strong security practices needs to be a top priority. While many managed cloud service providers do a good job of protecting the cloud and infrastructure itself, it’s the responsibility of the customer to protect what’s running inside the cloud.
