Recent international events have highlighted security vulnerabilities that exist for companies and organisations.
CORTAC assists organisations in protecting themselves from both internal and external security threats, by implementing a comprehensive, multi-layered security strategy to address vulnerabilities. Security components include cybersecurity (software and firewalls), physical security of property and people, and proper vetting of employees and procurement processes.
Here are the key areas to focus on to enhance protection:
1. Strengthen Access Control: Robust camera systems with offsite monitoring. Use intrusion detection and prevention systems such as the CORWATCH solution that uses tools to analyse normal behavior patterns and detect anomalies that may indicate threats.
Limiting access privileges: Only authorised personnel should have access to sensitive data, systems and areas based on their job requirements.
2. Security audits and risk assessments:
-Conduct regular security audits to identify weaknesses in systems and address them before they are exploited. This includes checks on staff and third party security checks and risk assessments.
3. Employee Training and Awareness:
Educate employees on recognising phishing attacks and social engineering tactics, as human error is a common vulnerability.
Regular security training on cybersecurity policies, recognising suspicious activities, and best practices.
4. Insider Threat Detection:
Use tools that track employee activity to detect unusual behaviour that could indicate malicious intent.
5. Clear Response Protocol: An incident response plan is essential to quickly identify, contain, and mitigate any security breaches.
