As Boards Focus More on Cybersecurity, Are They Missing One of the Biggest Threats?
Medial

Board members have been increasingly responsible for cybersecurity strategy, but they often overlook their own vulnerability. Many board members lack preparation and training to anticipate, respond to, and avoid cyberattacks. They are uniquely vulnerable due to their remote work, use of public email accounts, and lack of involvement in cybersecurity awareness programs. To address this risk, customized education and training programs, tabletop exercises, phishing simulations, and one-on-one consulting can help board members develop the necessary skills and resilience against targeted attacks. Including board members in cybersecurity plans is essential as their role in safeguarding companies becomes more significant.

ThreatLocker: Securing tomorrow begins with a zero-trust approach today
Medial

The rise of cyber threats, fueled by geopolitical events and the increased use of artificial intelligence, has made cybersecurity a top concern for governments, businesses, and individuals. Traditional defense systems and endpoint detection tools are no longer sufficient to combat dynamic threats in a remote-working and cloud-based environment. A zero-trust, default-deny approach offers a strong strategy to enhance cybersecurity. ThreatLocker, among other providers, utilizes this approach by identifying normal operations, approving trusted applications, and denying untrusted software. This proactive approach minimizes vulnerabilities and significantly reduces response time. Collaboration and cooperation among cybersecurity providers are also crucial for creating a more secure landscape for businesses. Embracing new principles, collaboration, and a culture that recognizes the continuous presence of threats will shape the future of cybersecurity.
