How can you prevent a cyber attack ?

- There is no guaranteed way for any organization to prevent a cyber attack, but there are numerous cybersecurity best practices that organizations can follow to reduce the risk.

- Reducing the risk of a cyber attack relies on using a combination of skilled security professionals, processes and technology.

Reducing risk also involves three broad categories of defensive action:

1.preventing attempted attacks from actually entering the organization's IT systems;

2.detecting intrusions; and

3.disrupting attacks already in motion -- ideally, at the earliest possible time.

📝Best practices include the following:

- implementing perimeter defenses, such as firewalls, to help block attack attempts and to block access to known malicious domains;

- using software to protect against malware, namely antivirus software, thereby adding another layer of protection against cyber attacks;

- having a patch management program to address known software vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers;

- setting appropriate security configurations, password policies and user access controls;

- maintaining a monitoring and detection program to identify and alert to suspicious activity;

- creating incident response plans to guide reaction to a breach; and

- training and educating individual users about attack scenarios and how they as individuals have a role to play in protecting the organization.
