Why Security Awareness Should Not Stop at Phishing

For many decades now, emerging threats have put organizations at risk. As the IT landscape evolved and threat actors found new ways to attack, security teams needed to find new ways to detect and respond to threats. While security tools such as SIEM, SOAR and EDR technologies all have their benefits, organizations must look beyond the limits of these offerings to extended detection and response (XDR).

Today’s threat landscape requires businesses of all sizes to gain visibility and control over sensitive data in order to comply with a tangled web of security and privacy requirements. Addressing insider threats and defending intellectual property, customer data and other confidential information across hybrid and multi-cloud environments can overwhelm even the savviest of security and IT teams, especially when resources are scarce. However, data security defenses don’t have to be costly or overly complex to carry out.

You don’t know what you don’t know. You suspect that your industrial environment is exposed and vulnerable but how can you be sure? How do you gain visibility and insights into your OT networks security risk posture? If the first step is understanding all of your assets and communications, how do you start? How many devices do you have on your industrial network? What talks to what? What talks to the outside world? Do you have vulnerabilities and weak spots? Is all of your firmware up to date? Sentryo is now working with our world-class partners to offer a unique Risk Assessment Service that provides the executives, managers, security analysts, automation engineers, compliance managers and all other IT, OT and management stakeholders in an organization clear analysis and insights about their cyber security posture highlighting the potential vulnerabilities and/or threats that require attention.

Today, every organization faces vulnerability overload. In 2018 alone, Tenable Research estimated nearly 19,000 new vulnerabilities would be disclosed. There are just too many to discover, assess and effectively mitigate. Reducing vulnerability overload means focusing like a laser on vulnerabilities most likely to impact your business right now. To learn how you can address this challenge, join Bill Olson, Technical Director with Tenable, for an on-demand webinar exploring best practices you can adopt to overcome vulnerability overload and better protect your business from cyber risk.
