Comments by Dan Davies, CTO at Maintel: “Following the confirmed cyberattack on The Guardian, business leaders should take heed and implement the correct tools to protect their systems.”

He adds, “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. Cyber criminals are continuously probing and looking for weaknesses and it only takes a single vulnerability to gain access.”

Multi-layered attacks

Dan Davies continues, “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.”

He adds, “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. Unfortunately, it's no longer a matter of if you'll be attacked, but when. So, it pays to be prepared.”
