PLANS FOR PROTECTING DIGITAL ASSETS AND NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
Staying informed about the latest threat intelligence and trends. Implementing hardware and software firewalls to block unauthorized access. Monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity and responding to threats. Protecting data in transit and at rest using strong encryption methods. Adding an extra layer of security beyond just passwords.
Securing the organization’s network infrastructure. Implementing segmentation, secure access controls, and monitoring traffic. Effective cybersecurity requires a multi-layered approach, combining technology, processes, and people. It is an ongoing effort to adapt to new threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring that an organization’s digital assets remain protected.
