Security Controls To Slow and Stop an Attack

Breaches are inevitable. At least, that’s the philosophy of a strong organizational defense plan. No cybersecurity strategy is foolproof, and it’s better to know how your organization will react if a threat actor gets into your system rather than making it up as it happens. With the right steps in place, many breaches can be neutralized before they cause real damage to your organizations.

There are specific security controls  your organization can put in place to help thwart an attacker that gets into your system. Here are four security controls that will help slow and stop an attack.

Top 10 Considerations for Choosing an MDR Provider

Managed detection and response (MDR) solutions remain very popular, and with good reason, considering the ongoing activity by cyber threat actors. The global shortage of cybersecurity personnel is estimated at 3.5 million1 , a huge challenge for organizations looking to hire resources with cybersecurity skills and experience. More organizations are looking for ways to reduce their risk profile and stay protected from threats and vulnerabilities, while protecting their existing investments in technology.

This makes, choosing the right Managed Detection and Response  (MDR) provider crucial. Here are the: Top 10 Considerations for Choosing an MDR Provider .

Achieving Advanced Detection With XDR

As threat actors continue to create more sophisticated and clandestine attacks, the capabilities of extended detection and response  (XDR) to provide a unified view across your entire attack surface while discovering new and emerging threats has made it the new standard in cybersecurity.

As the name points out, XDR picks up where limited endpoint detection and response leaves off, by extending coverage across your entire computing environment, including cloud, endpoint, network, email, identity systems, exposure management systems, operating technologies (OT), and business applications.
