What are the costs of not having an Advanced Threat Protection system?
According to IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2019 came in at around 3.92 million dollars with an average breach size of 25,575 records. With minimal Advanced Threat Protection measures in place like firewall management or endpoint protection, you can help prevent breaches from causing trouble for your business.
How do I know what level of advanced threat protection my business needs?
All businesses need a basic amount of cybersecurity in order to protect themselves from attack. Web, email, and device protection; constant monitoring for attacks to prevent costly breaches; and firewall management are all necessary elements of a basic cybersecurity program. As your business deals with more sensitive or even classified information, you will need higher levels of protection and procedures to protect your company’s and your clients’ assets.
For instance, if your business is required to comply with NIST 800-171 or CMMC, then high levels of cybersecurity controls are a must such as conditional access policies, FIPS approved encryption, strong access control policies, and more.
