Is Your Cloud Security Offering These 3 Crucial Services?
Today’s cybercriminals move quickly. Hackers constantly find new methods of attack to exploit system vulnerabilities and access sensitive data.
The good news: As cybercriminals’ methods of attack evolve, so do cyber protection strategies.
Discover three critical security services that stop hackers in their tracks.
1. Secure encryption
Encryption is one of the most effective — and widely used — methods of data protection.
Encryption secures confidential data by scrambling information from a readable format into encoded text, also known as ciphertext. Only users with an encryption key can revert the data back into a usable form. Without an encryption key, data will appear in random number and letter sequences that are extremely difficult, if not impossible to crack.
50% of organizations consistently apply an encryption strategy across their enterprise.
2. Identity & Access Management (IAM)
If you’ve ever logged into an online account using a verification code sent to your cell phone or entered your PIN number at an ATM machine, you’re already familiar with one of the most common forms of IAM.
IAM tools oversee user identities and access permissions to ensure the right users have access to the right tools. One of the most well-known forms is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), which requires users to verify their identity using two or more methods before gaining access. This means that a hacker simply cracking your password won’t be enough to get into your account.
90% of cyberattacks can be prevented by MFA.
31.8% of businesses plan to adopt an MFA solution within a year.
3. Threat detection & risk monitoring
Staying ahead of bad actors requires constant vigilance. Threat detection and risk monitoring technology provides just that — analyzing security environments for malicious activity to identify threats before they cause harm.
Proactively identifying threats allows you to mitigate damage quickly and effectively with the appropriate response technology. The most effective threat detection and risk monitoring strategies automate incident response procedures in real time, eliminating the need for time-consuming, manual intervention.
Unlock cutting-edge security for a hybrid world.
