Protecting your home from intruders requires proper security measures, such as locked doors and windows, a fence, and possibly a guard dog. However, even the most robust locks and toughest dogs are useless if the intruder has already infiltrated the house and set up camp in the basement.
Similarly, many businesses invest in security software, multi-factor authentication, encryption, backup systems, and staff training to protect their data from cybercriminals. But despite these efforts, they often overlook the importance of detection and response. This involves constantly monitoring their systems for any signs of a breach and having a plan to stop an attack.
A recent study reveals that only a third of businesses prioritize detection, while most focus on prevention. This means they may have strong walls around their systems, but the intruders are already inside. The data also shows that over 80% of businesses experienced more than one data breach last year, despite having suitable security measures.
Criminals are constantly finding new ways to evade security, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach that includes robust prevention and detection policies. To ensure the best protection against determined cybercriminals, it’s essential to take a rounded approach to security.
