Unlocking the Secrets of Cybersecurity: Deception Technology

In the high-stakes realm of cybersecurity, the game is all about thwarting hackers and safeguarding your most sensitive data. A modern, cutting-edge strategy for cybersecurity is called “Zero Trust,” and it’s revolutionizing security. Instead of relying on a single fortress-like perimeter defense, Zero Trust meticulously guards each resource within your network.

Imagine traditional perimeter cyber defenses as a medieval castle surrounded by a moat. Once an attacker breaches those towering walls, they’re practically free to roam. Now, picture Zero Trust as a bustling airport with multiple security checkpoints before you can even think about boarding a plane.

But here’s the kicker: Even with the most robust security measures in place, no system is foolproof. Even the largest, most compliance-oriented organizations can find themselves in the crosshairs of a determined attacker. When the breach alarm sounds, your next line of defense is crucial. Enter “Deception Technology.”

New Year New You: 3 Cyber Security Tips for SMBs in 2020

What 2020 will bring directly depends on you… and your perception of cyber security.

We won’t be wrong if we say that large companies with enormous budgets and innovation opportunities have always been a desirable target for cyber criminals.

At the same time, their developed security systems designed to protect against an unauthorized entry strengthen their position in the cyber space (although not 100% of time – that’s a different story).

However, the latest trend is that SMBs are at hackers’ gunpoint nowadays just as (if not more often than) large corporations.

Physical Security Threats (that are often overlooked)

Imagine that you’ve been tasked to secure a server storing restricted information. Some of the tools you will use might include: AI-powered endpoint protection solution, Next-Generation Firewall, network segregation, privileged accounts, MFA etc. Voila! It’s now secure.

You go home happy with a sense of accomplishment only to discover the next morning that someone walked in to the office and took out the drive with that precious data (which may trigger heavy financial losses) and walked away… Brutal!

Cyber Security Epidemic in Healthcare Industry


“The health sector is in desperate need of a cyber hygiene injection” - James Scott, Senior Fellow, Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology
