As an individual, it\u2019s heartbreaking to see a war break out and the impact it\u2019s having across the region. We know that cyberattacks are now a part of war. We also know cyberattacks can be targeted, but also have the potential for unintended consequences and increased impact as they can spread outside of the initial target. Just last month, President Biden issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/03\/21\/statement-by-president-biden-on-our-nations-cybersecurity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">statement<\/span><\/a> on cybersecurity. As security professionals, our guard has been up, and this statement should cause us all to elevate our awareness around a potential cyber threat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I\u2019m sure our partners are asking themselves a lot of questions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">What does that mean for me and my customers?<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">What should we be doing?<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">How do I know if I\u2019m prepared?<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">How do we know if an attack is more widespread?<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Will my cyberinsurance cover an attack right now?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">And I could go on and on with everything that MSPs and your customers are worried about.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Where should you focus your attention<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">So where do you start? The answer to this is keep it simple. Focus on enhanced awareness and vigilance. This is nothing new for us during these current times. For anyone who has wanted to travel during COVID, we\u2019ve been receiving updates from our local governments regularly on the risks associated with traveling to various destinations. Our awareness around travel has increased and, especially right now, we need to ensure that our awareness around cyber threats is increased.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The news has been hyper-focused on physical battles that have continued for weeks but, until this week, there has been less focus on cyberattacks. There are a few resources, which are freely available to anyone, where you can ensure that you\u2019re staying on top of what\u2019s happening in the cyber world. A few include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/uscert\/ncas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">US-CERT<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u2014Provides detailed alerts around threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You can subscribe to their email notifications to have this information delivered as it\u2019s made available.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.gov.uk\/section\/keep-up-to-date\/ncsc-news?q=&amp;defaultTypes=news,information&amp;sort=date%2Bdesc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">National Cyber Security Centre<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u2014The UK cyber security center provides cyber news and advice.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cert.europa.eu\/cert\/filteredition\/en\/CERT-LatestNews.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">CERT-EU<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u2014Provides detailed information on security advisories, vulnerabilities, and exploits.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/isc.sans.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">SANS Storm Center<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u2014Here you can find new about threats. They provide threat feeds as well as several other tools and resources for security professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are several other valuable resources you will find particularly useful to you as you become more in-tune with cybersecurity news.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">7 Better Business Practices<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since the MSP, and the small yet strategic few of their vendor partners, are usually the ones out front for the IT security of small and midsize businesses and enterprises, I wanted to share these seven better business practices around security gleaned from our team and our partner community. They can quickly be repurposed for business leaders and security executives to:<\/p>\n<p><b>1. Adopt a zero-trust strategy<\/b> to IT security. Note the word strategy. Zero-trust is not a solution. It\u2019s an approach\u2014a principle to how best to protect the business.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Don\u2019t overlook the simple things<\/b> including email protection, access management, secure cloud backup, and\u00a0multifactor authentication (MFA) on all business applications.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Spend time, a lot of time, educating your team and your customers<\/b> to better understand cyber risks and how to protect themselves, the company, and their customers. Build a plan for how to respond and test it in a safe environment.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Use the right talent and technology<\/b> to secure a clear and ongoing view of any and all known, and potential, vulnerabilities within your business, your customers, and third-party alliances.<\/p>\n<p>5. Recognize that the new normal will not always include an office. <b>Embrace technologies<\/b> including endpoint detection and response tools to stay ahead of the next cyberattack and extend the protection beyond the office.<\/p>\n<p><b>6. Focus on prevention, but also on recovery planning<\/b>. Make certain customers have what they need to recover as fast as possible and know what to do when it happens. Again, play this out with business continuity planning and war room practices.<\/p>\n<p><b>7. Don\u2019t default to \u201cno\u201d<\/b> when customers want to introduce new applications or gain access to something within the network. Instead, use the opportunity to better understand what it is they want to do and how you can collaborate and find an effective solution together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And remember, there\u2019s no silver bullet or single solution set to solve for IT security at scale. If there was, more MSPs and security officers\u2014myself included\u2014would be working beachside with an endless bucket of beers. But the fact remains: There is always more we can do to better protect ourselves, our people, our customers, and our connected ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>Dave MacKinnon is chief security officer at N&#8209;able.\u00a0You can connect with Dave on linkedIn\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/david-mackinnon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s4\"><i>here<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With cyberattacks now an intrinsic part of war, the situation in Ukraine will have IT Pros on high alert.
