Listen to Audio Most small to medium-sized businesses today are facing more cyber threats than we realize. Yet, many enterprises still are operating with the mindset that security is a “big business” problem. As our data becomes more and more sophisticated, so should our security software and the tools we use to understand the effectiveness of this software. If that’s the case, is your company falling behind? While the U.S. Small Business Administration warns against the dangers of cyber threats, their suggestions aren’t progressive enough. Sometimes these risks run deeper, and we need to focus on what’s known as a “single pane of glass” security. A single pane of glass is a type of management console designed for businesses that presents data from all sources in a single platform. Why is a “single pane of glass” the answer to cybersecurity for enterprises in 2019? Because it’s a way to see through the entire system to get the big picture. Focusing on too many small systems or only the analytics doesn’t give the big picture. You need to understand what’s happening in your business from start to finish with a unified display you can understand. This might sound like a lot of work, particularly for smaller businesses, but it’s just another normal part of doing business. Why is all of this still so necessary in 2019? In this guide we’ll break down three reasons and examples. Compliance First and foremost, there’s the issue of compliance. Business rules and regulations are always changing, and different governments and industries are expecting more of businesses of all sizes. Data is a part of all of our business actions today. How you use and protect this data is a compliance issue. The more systems and servers that your enterprise uses, the more difficult compliance becomes. While it might have been possible to manage a small number of logs for these servers on your own, this becomes significantly less reasonable as you grow and expand. It’s in your best interest to ensure you’re compliant with the latest security standards in your industry and then some. Computer Forensics While it might sound like something only relevant to crime TV shows, security forensics is a vital part of improving your businesses safety. Computer forensics is the process of collecting and exploring data in hindsight. What’s the point in collecting data if the damage has already been done? Simply put, it’s how you block future attacks. In a perfect world nothing would even get through your security measures. In the real world however, security analytics fill in these gaps to provide a history of events you can use to strengthen your business moving forward. Using a “single pane of glass” security center will give you access to all of these analytics and more all in a single screen. Incident Planning Finally, embracing a security management and analytics system helps small and medium-sized businesses not only prevent attacks, but learn how to successfully respond to one. As we said, identifying a breach is only half the battle. While risk meters services will help you recognize your own risk, you’ll still need your own strategy for responding quickly. This is known as an incident response plan. You’ll need to access the scope of any breach in security and plan a response. This includes steps for communicating the breach to data owners and users, isolating the data breach to smaller areas, and collecting forensic analytics. Finally, you’ll need a recovery plan for restoring applications and data. This is where IT management consulting really comes in handy for creating these plans. Protecting Your Business Protecting your business with a security analytics deployment solutions is the best way to stay on top of the security risks in 2019. While we might have thought these would be a thing of the past by now, that’s hardly the case. The best thing to do is to stay focused on strengthening your own infrastructure for the reasons outlined above. Businesses of all shapes and sizes are the targets of cyber attacks, not just big-name companies. In fact, small businesses are more likely to be caught off guard by these attacks, so they’re seen as an easier, more desirable target. It’s time to take matters into your own hands to prevent from becoming another statistic.
