CYBERSECURITY [SELF] AWARENESS MONTH

By Jenn BoyleOctober 2, 2023Blog, Cybersecurity
No Comments

BY ANDREW ROBERTS, MICROAGE CHIEF CYBERSECURITY STRATEGIST

Reading Time: 3 minutes


Welcome to October – one of my favorite months of the year. For me, October is a
time of reflection. My birthday is at the end of September, so October is the
start of a new year. In Arizona, it brings an end to summer’s heat and we
welcome cooler weather. In the north, October brings bright fall foliage and a
crisp bite in the air. Many children look forward to Halloween at the end of the
month. Another change that comes with October is found in stores where the
holiday season is now in full swing, though not everyone is happy about that.

October is also Cybersecurity Awareness Month. It has been since 2004 when the
President and Congress first declared it, and every year since then.

As I look to this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, I still think we need to
go beyond the typical October cybersecurity advice. Sure, we all need to know
things like how to make a strong password or passphrase, and how they should
never be reused for multiple applications. We should also be reminded about not
clicking on that link or opening that attachment even if your distant relative
is a Nigerian Prince. We should also remember that the email we got from the CEO
asking us to buy some gift cards didn’t actually come from the CEO. But still –
we need to turn our eye inward – and take a good look at our organization.




ORGANIZATIONAL CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS

If you are a cybersecurity professional like me, let’s take a different look at
Cybersecurity Awareness Month. After you’ve sent your witty and insightful
October messages to your company employees and maybe even your customers, how
about going the extra mile and taking an introspective look at your own
cybersecurity awareness? I don’t mean whether you know good password practices
and that other stuff, but how aware are you of the state of cybersecurity inside
your own organization? Do you know where all your sensitive and important
information is? Do you know if access to that data is appropriate and follows a
solid least-privilege model? Is it all encrypted where it should be? What could
you be doing to better protect that data?

How good is your multifactor authentication (MFA) deployment? Does it cover
every employee in every situation where it should? We know that a proper MFA
implementation can greatly reduce the risk to our systems. Is your MFA properly
and fully implemented yet?

Look at your email, the number one vector for so many attacks; how well are you
protected?

What about endpoint and server protection? How well is that covered? Are you
confident and comfortable that malware, including ransomware, will be detected
and stopped before the damage is too great? Are you able to respond to those
detections and clean up the mess?

If you are not a cybersecurity professional and don’t have many – or any – in
your organization, looking at all of that may seem like a daunting challenge.
There’s good news – last month, MicroAge announced our comprehensive Managed
Security Services, which give you Endpoint and Server protection, MFA, Email
Security, and 24×7 monitoring and response – all along with user awareness
training. Cybersecurity is complicated, so let the experts at MicroAge worry
about keeping you secure – not only come October but throughout the year – so
you can worry about more important parts of your business.

We should all be more self-aware when it comes to cybersecurity. Whether you do
it yourself or leave it to pros like MicroAge, that self-evaluation can only
make you better.
