The security ecosystem
Thousands of security bodies and security researchers work round the clock to innovate and develop an effective solution to address emerging threats. Organizations spend millions of dollars every year to enhance their security posture and tools. They keep researching on zero-day vulnerabilities, building artificial neural network (ANN) for endpoint protection, machine-learning models for new threat model, building an effective cyber security incident response process and awareness program etc.
There are main four categories of cyberattack prevention strategies:
- Reduce the attack surface: Most of the organizations have a regular process to conduct vulnerability scanning both externally and internally for unwanted application ports, file extension information, and platform information. This continuous process of security threat evaluation helps them to determine following questions:
- What are we doing different? (technology, process, application, people, and so on...
