Comments by Dan Davies, CTO at Maintel: “Unfortunately, it's no longer a matter of if you'll be attacked, but when. So, it pays to be prepared. The latest cyberattack on car retailer, Arnold Clark, emphasises that it isn’t just high-profile companies coming under fire, any industry of any size could be next.”

It is imperative organisations put in place and update their security infrastructure constantly, as one chink in the armour could lead to a killer blow for the entire organisation. In this case, customer bank details and ID documents were stolen, so the consequences of a successful attack can be detrimental.”

Applying emerging technologies

A priority for security teams must be to reduce the time to detect, contain and mitigate breaches. This is a key strategy given those trying to gain access are now very skilled in delivering multi-layered attacks using diversion techniques.”

The only way to go about this is by regularly scanning your environments for vulnerabilities, applying emerging technologies like predictive analytics with techniques such as machine learning and modelling as additional layers of the already complex security stack."
