The Ninja Sensei’s Logbook: Going into the new year without slouching your cybersecurity posture

Another year, another set of threats could be waiting for your organisation. With each passing year, bad actors employ greater sophistication.

Hence, there’s no room for your organisation to slouch its cybersecurity posture and risk being the next victim without any warning.

Despite the fact that 63% of cybersecurity practitioners reported spending more on cybersecurity in 2022 than in 2021, cyberattacks continue to proliferate and accelerate as cybercriminals get more cunning and their techniques become more commoditized.

With this said, this new year should be the start of having a more robust cybersecurity posture, and even a better one than before. With the rate of sophistication that bad actors are bringing to the table to infiltrate your organisation, it’s best to have the up-to-date protection that your organisation needs.

Ways to protect your cybersecurity’s posture

✅ Implement strong security protocols, such as firewalls and encryption, to protect against unauthorised access to networks and data

✅ Regularly update software and operating systems to fix vulnerabilities and prevent exploitation by cybercriminals

✅Train employees on how to identify and avoid potential threats, such as phishing attacks and malicious software

✅Use multifactor authentication to increase the security of accounts and sensitive data

✅Conduct regular security audits to identify vulnerabilities and address them promptly

✅Stay up-to-date on the latest trends and developments in the field to ensure that the organisation is adequately protected against emerging threats.

It is crucial for organisations to prioritise cybersecurity and take steps to protect themselves against potential threats. This is because the ramification of a successful breach does not only end in a financial penalty from the PDPC, it can also involve the organisation’s besmirched reputation which could end up losing the trust of its customers and potential clients.
