May the Fourth be with You
Like the death star, cyber attacks are a major threat to your business. So, to celebrate Star Wars day, we’re going to delve into the Jedi Code of information security so you can use the force to protect your business!
Jedi Code of Security
To keep your network and data secure, there are several best practices you can implement. We’ve listed four that will keep the force strong with you and your team members.
Proactive: Thinking ahead and acting before the enemy is critical to the success of your Jedi missions. This means being proactive in your security measures and implementing malware identification software and addressing vulnerabilities before it’s too late.
Purple: Red and Blue teams must come together to create the strongest security and use Purple team practices. To do this, we recommend joining responsibilities such as Penetration Testing and Digital Forensics so the ethical hackers can implement Threat Hunting into their protections.
User Training: Emotions can fuel the force for good and evil, and only proper training will keep those emotions in-line with the good. In security, user-error is one of the most significant weaknesses in the line of defense. To mitigate this weakness, it’s important to train all your users, teams, and yourself so you all have the cyber intelligence to navigate the digital world.
Passwords: It’s no secret that passwords should be kept a secret. They should also be strong and unique. Your password is your digital fingerprint as well as a source of strength for the “Fallen.” Don’t let the evil hackers and users of the force gain access to your password. Use these tips from National Password Day which, uncoincidentally, follows Star Wars Day!
Don’t become one of the “Fallen” or succumb to the dark side. Follow your Jedi Code of Security and keep your IT practices in line with the light!
