#ZeroTrust is a strategic approach to #cybersecurity rather than a product. Consequently, its implementation requires a few best practices, such as #MFA, patch management, regular updates and restricted access. #Security bit.ly/3B6wVfc

While #ZeroTrust is mostly deployed to protect IT environments, it can also apply to OT, boosting companies' #CyberResilience by improving the visibility of critical assets and enhancing network segmentation and identity management. bit.ly/3RkyifS

The techniques cyber criminals use to induce people to download #malware are growing in number and sophistication. To keep these risks at bay, companies must have multi-layered #security while scanning everything and restricting downloads. #Cybersecurity bit.ly/3BgvtHi

No matter how many firewalls or antiviruses are in place, companies can't have solid protection if employees are not educated and aware of #cyber risks. Training people is just as critical as having #security tools. #Cybersecurity bit.ly/3wZSawG

Increasing rates of reported #ransomware breaches show the need for better prevention strategies. No business is immune to threats, so vulnerability patches, stronger intelligence & cyber training should remain common practice for all orgs. #cybersecurity bit.ly/3VseF7D

It's a positive sign that more risk leaders today see data breaches as the top #risk for business growth. While this mindset has led to improved #security, CISOs should continue educating execs on key risks they face to safeguard cyber funding. bit.ly/3YohoB2

Effective communication, both internal and external, is key to a strong #cybersecurity posture. Ensuring everyone is aware of the #security policies and being transparent with stakeholders about protocols will help build trust and stay ahead of threats. bit.ly/3Wuv8rZ

Awareness of social engineering rises, but so does cybercrime with pretexting tactics. Businesses can counter this sophisticated #phishing by educating their teams, deploying #AI in email security & regularly updating software. tinyurl.com/5dmdhn4c
