Information security

There are many different ways to compromise data. Your data is subject to both external and internal threats. External threats manifest themselves in the form of malware or ransomware. While internal threats come from attackers working under trusted accounts. Insiders can easily become a threat by accidentally clicking on a phishing link or believing scammers using social engineering. A missing database update or a minor configuration error will allow an attacker to create a loophole to penetrate the business. Zero trust is a basic principle that takes into account all potential attack vectors.

Data activity monitoring and security analytics record and analyze the actions of a given user in many sources. If the user has access to privileged credentials, the security platform should be integrated with privileged access management tools. It is required to find out whether the user used the credentials to perform any suspicious actions. Data security tools, according to the principle of zero trust, will send practical information about risks to the SIEM or SOAR platform to warn the SOC team about a potential threat to internal systems.

Without data protection tools, it is impossible to fully maintain the information security structure. IT specialists need to know exactly what users are doing with data. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to determine which of the employees poses the greatest risk of data leakage. And such a problem is critically important for any organization.

This way, people will be able to change security policies and organize large-format protection against data threats on an ongoing basis.
