October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an idealtime for organizations to assess their security posture. From identitytheft to ransomware to phishingattacks, there has been a recent influx of threats againstbusinesses both large and small not to mention municipal governmentorganizations in the public sector. Strengthening your organization's defencesagainst ongoing cyberattacks requires a comprehensive security infrastructure,which could include the latest security solutions from some of our leadingpartners:
How to secureemail, data and user access in the cloud
Many users of Software as a Service (SaaS)applications might not be aware that data security is not fully managed by the SaaSprovider. As a result, security gaps can arise due to a lack of control andvisibility over applications that are hosting your corporate data. SonicWallCloud App Security can help you adopt SaaS applications in a securemanner.
The Cloud App Security solution from SonicWall offersnext-gen security for your users and data within cloud applications, includingemail, messaging, file sharing and file storage. For organizations adoptingSaaS applications, SonicWall Cloud App Security delivers visibility, datasecurity, advanced threat protection and compliance for the cloud.
How to secureIoT devices on your network
Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable digitaltransformation initiatives and improve efficiency, flexibility andoptimization. But the proliferation of IoT devices has made it necessary fororganizations to improve their visibility into every device and every useraccessing their networks.
These devices are inherently untrustworthy, withdesigns that prioritize low cost over security. However, FortiNAC byFortinet provides the network visibility to see everything connected to thenetwork, as well as the ability to control IoT devices and users by providingdynamic, automated responses.
How to protectyour organization from exploits
Exploit-based attacks are a popular form of cybercrime.Easy to use and readily available on the dark web, exploit kits allow cybercriminalsto steal data and sell or ransom it they can even sell access to theexploited server itself.
The best defence is a layered and predictive approachto protection. The InterceptX with EDR solution from Sophos stops attacks before they startwith guided incident response to detect and investigate suspicious activity andAI-driven threat hunting with suggested next steps to stop unknown threats,block exploits and deny hackers.
Stopsophisticated attacks across your network, endpoints and cloud assets
To uncoverstealthy threats and evasive malware, you need to analyze massive amounts ofdata. But doing so can be very time-consuming, especially for organizationswith a shortage of security staff. This is where a detection and response app,powered by artificial intelligence, can improve efficiency and simplifysecurity operations.
Cortex XDR from Palo Alto uncovers every step of anattack by applying machine learning to network, endpoint and cloud data. ThisPalo Alto solution also consolidates alerts into incidents, which substantiallyreduces the number of alerts you have to review.
