PROTECT

Take A Proactive Approach to Cyber Threats.

During the Protect phase of the NIST framework, the Site2 team will focus on implementing safeguards to minimize the impact of potential cyberattacks. This might involve setting up access controls to restrict who can access data, training employees to identify phishing attempts, and deploying security software to encrypt sensitive information. Site2 will also ensure that systems are updated regularly and that procedures are in place for data backups and proper disposal of old devices.

Defend Your Data

The Protect phase in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is all about building strong defenses to shield your systems and data from cyber threats. During this phase, we will:

  1. 1

    Fortify your systems

    Install technical safeguards like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and data encryption to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. Security configurations are also hardened.

  2. 2

    Empower the team

    Raise cybersecurity awareness among employees through training programs. This equips them to identify and report suspicious activity like phishing emails or malware attempts.

  3. 3

    Maintain defenses

    Regular system updates and patching vulnerabilities are essential. Data backups and procedures for proper disposal of old equipment ensure a strong and well-maintained security posture.

Endpoint Detection and Response

EDR is a cornerstone of our Identify phase, providing deep visibility into endpoint activity. By continuously monitoring user and device behavior, we detect anomalies and potential threats early on. This proactive approach empowers us to identify vulnerabilities, prioritize risks, and implement targeted security measures, safeguarding your critical assets and preventing costly breaches.

Access Controls

Access controls include setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) for logins, requiring strong passwords, and defining user permissions for specific systems and data. MFA adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password, while user permissions ensure only authorized individuals can access sensitive information.

Email & Data Security

During this step, we implement data encryption to scramble sensitive information at rest and in transit. This makes it unreadable even if intercepted by attackers. Data loss prevention (DLP) tools can be used to monitor and block the accidental transfer of sensitive data outside the organization. Robust email filtering helps prevent phishing attempts and malware by blocking malicious emails from reaching inboxes.

Firewall Management

This involves configuring and maintaining firewall rules. Firewalls act as a barrier between your internal network and the outside world, filtering incoming and outgoing traffic. By defining specific rules, you can allow only authorized connections and block suspicious activity.

Mobile Device Security

Here, the focus is on enforcing strong passwords or PINs for mobile devices, managing which applications can be downloaded and used, and potentially setting up remote wipe capabilities for lost or stolen devices. These measures help protect sensitive data stored on mobile devices - it’s an essential step for any company that allows employees to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).

Security Policies

These are formal documents that outline your organization's cybersecurity expectations. They should detail password complexity requirements, acceptable use of technology, procedures for reporting suspicious activity, and proper disposal of electronic devices. Clear security policies ensure everyone understands their role in protecting the organization's data.
