Mitigation and defense strategies
Understanding and mitigating the techniques used by cybercriminals is crucial for maintaining robust cybersecurity defenses. Organizations must stay vigilant and proactive as attackers continually evolve their methods to exploit vulnerabilities. This overview delves into essential defense strategies, including regular patching, vulnerability scanning, WAFs, intrusion detection systems, and user training. By implementing these measures, along with additional techniques such as network segmentation, EDR, multi-factor authentication, security information and event management (SIEM), and regular security audits, organizations can significantly enhance their resilience against cyber threats, reduce their attack surface, and safeguard their systems and data from unauthorized access and malicious activities:
- Regular patching: The timely application of security patches and updates is fundamental for defending against known vulnerabilities. Software...
