UK organisations are facing a cybersecurity tempest, much like Shakespeare’s final play. As technology advances, so do cyber threats, leaving organisations struggling to keep up. Employees downloading software without consent are still the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain.
Five obstacles hinder organisations from managing their attack surface effectively: scale, lack of visibility, human error, policy enforcement, and complex regulations. The lack of visibility and management extends to devices and processes, with employees posing a significant risk.
To weather the storm, organisations must shift towards a new approach that prioritizes visibility and management. Automation can help bridge the cybersecurity skills gap and manage security posture effectively. By focusing on policy enforcement, employee training, and understanding the attack surface, organisations can create a holistic security strategy.
By embedding insider risk and employee support at its core, organisations can navigate the cybersecurity storm and batten down the security hatches.
