Writing at ITportal.com, Alexey Stoletny, Managing Director for Sigma Software, offers a set of common errors businesses often make when first preparing or acquiring their cybersecurity solutions. Beginning with an overemphasis on technical specifications without considering the importance of training employees in maintaining a robust cyberdefense, Stoletny also explores key issues like failing to understand who may be probing your defenses, or how a reliance on only being compliant with industry standards can lead to a lack of understanding of risks.
Discussion is also provided as to the need to recognize that any company can be hacked, with the related assumption that any attack could result in a breach, and that any person or tool could represent a point of weakness. The importance of finding a suitable cybersecurity partner is also noted, with the recognition that many companies err in assuming a standard solution will provide them comprehensive coverage, without recognizing the need for customization based on the type of business or data. For all cybersecurity solutions, deep considerations need to be made with respect to the depth of coverage and flexibility in response.
