Think back to 1996. The days of dial-up internet, corded phones, Windows 95, and Netscape.

Business and technology have come such a long way since then, haven’t they? Yet some organizations keep living in the past when it comes to their cybersecurity. You wouldn’t run your business using best practices, technology, or resources from 1996, would you?

So why are you protecting your company like its 1996?

When WEBIT first opened (back in 1996), “Cybersecurity” was little more than anti-virus software and a firewall (maybe).

Fast forward to today, THIS is what Cyber Resilience looks like.

  • ASSET INVENTORY
  • BUSINESS CONTINUITY / DATA BACKUPS
  • COMPLIANCE SERVICES
  • COMPUTER ACCESS CONTROL/ADMIN ACCESS RESTRICTIONS
  • CYBERLIABILITY INSURANCE
  • DARK WEB RESEARCH
  • DATA LOSS PREVENTION (DLP)
  • DISK ENCRYPTION/PROTECTION
  • EMAIL ENCRYPTION/SPAM FILTERING
  • EMAIL SECURITY (GATEWAY, MONITORING, MANAGEMENT, ETC)
  • ENDPOINT DETECTION & RESPONSE (EDR) OR ADVANCED END POINT PROTECTION (EPP)
  • FIREWALL - MANAGED
  • INCIDENT RESPONSE/FORENSICS
  • INTERNET ACCESS CONSTRAINTS/DNS FILTERING/WEB CONTENT FILTERING
  • INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM (IDS)
  • INTRUSION PREVENTION SYSTEM (IPS)
  • LOG COLLECTION/SIEM
  • MANAGED DETECTION & RESPONSE (MDR)
  • MOBILE DEVICE SECURITY
  • MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
  • NETWORK MANAGEMENT
  • PASSWORD PROTECTION/PASSWORD MANAGEMENT/PASSWORD POLICIES
  • PATCH MANAGEMENT
  • PEN TESTING
  • PHISH PREVENTION
  • PHISH TESTING
  • SECURE REMOTE ACCESS / VPN
  • SECURITY ASSESSMENT/PII SCANNING & ENCRYPTION
  • SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING
  • SOCAAS/MANAGED SOC
  • SSO
  • THREAT HUNTING
  • USER BEHAVIORAL ANALYTICS
  • VENDOR MANAGEMENT & VENDOR SELECTION FOR ALL 3RD PARTY SECURITY VENDORS
  • VIRTUAL CISO
  • VULNERABILITY SCANS/VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT/RISK ASSESSMENT
  • WEB WHITELISTING
  • ZERO TRUST ARCHITECTURE

That’s a heck of a lot more than anti-virus and a firewall. Here’s another way of visualizing that huge list of cybersecurity tools. A proper security program has three areas: detection, controls, and the human element. Each tool in the list above fits into one of those three areas. When you have all the right tools working together, your business is fully protected from both external and internal risks.

Stubbornly clinging to a 1996 security mindset puts your business in incredible danger from thousands of threats. Isn’t it time to bring your cybersecurity into the present?
