5 Essential Cybersecurity Controls to Implement in 2024 1482

As businesses increasingly rely on digital technologies, the threat of cyber attacks grows, making robust cybersecurity measures more essential than ever. Our friends at Zywave offer the following five critical cybersecurity controls that organizations should consider implementing in 2024 to fortify their digital defenses:

1. Utilize Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

Multifactor Authentication (MFA) is a security system that requires more than one method of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify the user's identity for a login or other transaction. This layered approach significantly enhances data and application security. It is especially crucial to enable MFA for remote access to networks and for accessing enterprise-level cloud applications, where the potential for unauthorized access is high.

2. Leverage Patch Management Solutions

Patch management is critical in maintaining the security integrity of software and operating systems. Patches not only fix bugs but also close security loopholes that could be exploited by cybercriminals. By consistently applying updates, organizations can significantly reduce their vulnerability to cyber attacks. Automating patch management can ensure timely updates and help maintain system security with minimal manual oversight.

3. Install Email Authentication Technology

Email remains a primary vector for cyber attacks, making authentication technologies crucial. These systems verify incoming emails against specific sender verification standards to ensure their legitimacy. Implementing such technology helps prevent phishing and other malicious emails from reaching employees, significantly reducing the risk of security breaches initiated via email.

4. Develop a Robust Cyber Incident Response Plan

Having a well-defined cyber incident response plan is key to effective cybersecurity. This plan should outline potential cyber attack scenarios and detail proactive steps to maintain or restore critical operations. The ability to respond quickly and efficiently can mitigate the impact of cyber attacks, helping organizations maintain continuity and protect sensitive data.

5. Provide Routine Cybersecurity Training

Human error remains one of the most significant vulnerabilities in cybersecurity. Providing employees with regular training on the latest cybersecurity threats and best practices can build a knowledgeable workforce that acts as the first line of defense against cyber threats. Such training should include recognizing phishing attempts, managing personal and professional data, and understanding the organization's cybersecurity policies and tools.

By implementing these five cybersecurity controls, organizations can significantly enhance their resilience against cyber threats in 2024. Continuous evaluation and adaptation of cybersecurity strategies are necessary to keep pace with the evolving landscape of cyber threats.
