Short on ideas? Overwhelmed and don\u2019t know where to start? Just brought on a batch of new remote workers and already afraid they\u2019re walking liabilities? Check out these six suggestions for improving your cyber safety this month.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. While it might be years before you\u2019re invited to a BBQ in its honor, the month certainly is gaining more relevance with each passing year. <a href=\"https:\/\/betanews.com\/2021\/12\/20\/cybercriminals-penetrate-93-percent-of-company-networks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">93% of company networks<\/a> are now breachable by hackers, one source notes, and nearly 1 in 3 organizations say they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/videos\/social-engineering-a-cheat-sheet-for-business-professionals\/\">don\u2019t have the funding<\/a> for proper cyber protection. With that in mind, any month might be a good month to be more cyber aware. Now, who wants a laundry list of next-gen security solutions you\u2019ll have no idea how to configure?<\/p>\n<p>Not many, it\u2019s safe to bet. That\u2019s why this year\u2019s theme is <em>\u201cSee yourself in cyber,\u201d<\/em> meaning that although cybersecurity can make most everyday users throw up their hands, the simple truth is that it\u2019s all about people. Keeping that in mind, here are some key tips to staying cyber-safe this month \u2013 for an individual, small business, <em>or <\/em>enterprise.<\/p>\n<h2>What is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month<\/h2>\n<p>First off, whose idea was this? Back in 2004, the President and Congress declared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/cybersecurity-awareness-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">October National Cybersecurity Awareness Month<\/a>, in an effort to get people to think more seriously about protecting digital assets that \u2013 after the na\u00efve and optimistic dot com era of the 1990s &#8211; very much needed protection. The problem was that we didn\u2019t bake in security measures back then, so we have to go back and fill in the gaps now. And we\u2019re still filling.<\/p>\n<p>Cybersecurity Awareness Month is \u201ca <a href=\"https:\/\/staysafeonline.org\/programs\/cybersecurity-awareness-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collaboration between government and private industry<\/a> to raise awareness about digital security\u201d and is headed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA). helps people know how to better secure their data online. Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nist.gov\/cybersecurity\/cybersecurity-awareness-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIST<\/a> website and find ways to get involved, resources for getting started, a great section on Telework Security Basics and Securing Conference Calls and a ton of other things we\u2019re still unsure if we\u2019re doing right.<\/p>\n<p>If ever there was a time to slow down and take stock of your security assets, it\u2019s now. How safe are your remote workers? Are they all using the company VPN? Do they have MFA on every device (especially those BYODs (bring your own devices) and connected IoT (Internet of Things) devices)? When\u2019s the last time they\u2019ve had phishing training? How safe is your network in-office when many hybrid workers transfer between devices connected to home (or public) Wi-Fi and your office ethernet? Do they even badge in?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in a headlong rush towards getting digitally connected, and that goes for schools, salons, grocery stores, and major retail chains. Just about everybody. This month of this year is significant because we\u2019ve had enough time to spin up something significant, cloud architecture is everywhere, everyone is online and past the initial transition stage \u2013 and now we need to look around and ask ourselves if we\u2019re doing it right. Will what we just set up be sustainable? Or are there major security gaps? That\u2019s the purpose of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.<\/p>\n<h2>How to \u201cCelebrate\u201d Cybersecurity Awareness Month<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect parades or floats, gifts or cards, flowers or chocolates, or TikTok challenges. No, it\u2019s more like a version of Hunger Games. The best way to honor the game is to not die. In other words, the best thing you can do for Cybersecurity Awareness Month is to find new ways to NOT GET HACKED. If you\u2019re short on ideas, here\u2019s a good six. If you\u2019re already doing these, just wait until next October. There\u2019s sure to be more (and you\u2019ll need them).<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/staysafeonline.org\/online-safety-privacy-basics\/multi-factor-authentication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)<\/a> is a must. Usernames and passwords are frequently guessed, stolen, or cracked. Adding another form of authentication increases your chances of safety by an order of magnitude. Try biometrics, an SMS-based pin, an authenticator app, a token-based entry, or an extra PIN.<\/li>\n<li>STRONG<a href=\"https:\/\/staysafeonline.org\/online-safety-privacy-basics\/multi-factor-authentication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> passwords<\/a>. If you do use (only) a password, or if you use one at all \u2013 which is most everyone, even with MFA \u2013 then you need to play by the rules. They should be 12-18 characters in length, include symbols, numbers, and CAPS, and never be reused. You know the drill. Also, consider a password generator (which randomizes them to the Nth degree) and a password manager.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/staysafeonline.org\/resources\/software-updates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keep your software updated<\/a>. Hackers go for the low-hanging fruit. They\u2019re not going to waste resources on a sophisticated APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) if they can get in through a stale vulnerability and wreak the same havoc. A study conducted by researchers from the Institute for Internet Security at the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences analyzed over 5.6 million websites and found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalinformationworld.com\/2021\/03\/95-percent-of-websites-on-internet-are.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">95% of websites<\/a> run on outdated software with known vulnerabilities. Yikes. Patch, patch, patch. And update.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/staysafeonline.org\/theft-fraud-cybercrime\/phishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Report phishing<\/a>. If you see something, say something. Don\u2019t assume most people will spot the same nonsense and stay away (or that you will for that matter). <a href=\"https:\/\/umbrella.cisco.com\/info\/2021-cyber-security-threat-trends-phishing-crypto-top-the-list\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">90% of all data breaches<\/a> arise from successfully landed phishing attempts notes CISCO\u2019s 2021 Cybersecurity Threat Trends report. Security awareness training helps.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/attack.mitre.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Map to <\/a>MITRE ATT&amp;CK. The MITRE ATT&amp;CK framework is the most exhaustive and up-to-date resource for all known threats across the globe. Take a look at your security stack and make sure the tools you have are the ones that can block these threats. You can consider this a bare minimum for cyber safety as fileless malware and many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2021-10-21-gartner-says-threat-of-new-ransomware-models-is-the-top-emerging-risk-facing-organizations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emerging risks<\/a> don\u2019t even make the list.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/itegriti.com\/kw022024\/2021\/cybersecurity\/10-essential-steps-to-cyber-resilience-as-hackers-target-critical-infrastructure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Secure by industry<\/a>. Due to geopolitical tensions, critical national infrastructure subsets like water, gas, healthcare, and electricity have been hit hard (Colonial Pipeline notably). This is largely due to a lack of cybersecurity compliance and uniformity within the sectors. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/news\/2022\/04\/20\/cisa-fbi-nsa-and-international-partners-issue-advisory-demonstrated-threats-and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CISA, <\/a>the FBI, and the NSA have warned about these risks, so make sure you know the government-mandated compliance specifications for your industry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Like it was stated in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/business\/what-is-cybersecurity-awareness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forbes<\/a>, \u201cNot everyone in an organization needs to understand concepts like SPF records and DNS cache poisoning, but empowering every employee with information relevant to their role helps them stay safe online\u2014both at work and home.\u201d That\u2019s true. And it\u2019s also true that in an enterprise, or even small business, you\u2019re going to need to know those things like DNS cache poisoning and mapping to MITRE and locking down authentication across multiple cloud applications. That\u2019s why a CISO could help, or even an advisor. ITEGRITI is a cybersecurity consulting and advisory firm that can help you figure out where to being.
