I’ve reported on this many times, cyber doesn’t have to be hard and all the hype and technology lingo doesn’t help. OK, if you’re up against Bureau 121 or APT10, government backed hackers. Then you will need a bit more than basic cyber security controls. But if you make it difficult for hackers then they are likely to move on to an easier target.

You don’t need to know your DNS from your DPI or your IDAM from you PAM. Basic security hygiene is where it starts, taking some simple basic steps goes along way to securing data. There’s plenty of evidence that security hygiene management can go a long way to helping manage cyber security risks. For corporate or individuals alike. Vulnerability and patch management, obsolescence management, access management are all basic principles, which if applied correctly will help and there are plenty of technology solutions out there to augment basic security hygiene. To build a security posture to defend against a significant proportion of threats.
