A smart approach to cybersecurity involves multiple layers of protection for computers, networks, programs, and data. An organization must align people, processes, and technology in the right way to deploy effective defenses against cyber attacks. Unified Threat Management (UTM) automates the integration of a range of Cisco security products and accelerates the implementation of key protection functions: detection, analysis, and remediation.
People
Users should understand and adhere to basic data protection principles such as choosing strong passwords, being careful with email attachments, and backing up data. Learn more about basic principles of cybersecurity.
Processes
Organizations must deploy a system to prevent and mitigate cyberattacks. One established strategy can help. She explains how to identify attacks, protect systems, detect threats, respond to them, and remediate the consequences of successful attacks.
Technologies are at the heart of the creation of computer security tools to protect organizations and individuals from cyberattacks. There are three main groups of objects to protect: end devices such as computers, smart devices and routers, networks, and the cloud. Common technology solutions to protect these objects include next-generation firewalls, DNS filtering, anti-malware, anti-virus, and email security solutions.
