In today’s digital landscape, it is paramount that you secure your business with solutions that are essential for your longevity. Cyberthreats, data breaches and physical security risks can pose a challenge for your business if you aren’t prepared. Safeguard your assets by implementing essential security solutions that not only protect your network and systems but also help to educate your employees about the best security practices.  

In this blog, we will help you explore some common solutions that your business needs to establish a robust security posture. With these solutions in mind, you can protect your business and ensure confidentiality, integrity and easy access to your pertinent information. Without further ado, let’s dive right in! 

Identity Solutions (Azure Conditional Access) 

Identity Solutions can play a critical role in protecting your business by ensuring only the right people have access to your systems, data and applications. One solution that packs a powerful punch in this sector is Azure Conditional Access. This service provides a comprehensive set of standards and controls that can help manage access to your data based on specific fields and risks. By implementing this solution, your business can get a significant handle on unauthorized access, putting a stop to account takeovers and boosting your overall identity.  

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) 

Endpoint Detection and Response, or EDR, is a popular security solution that primarily focuses on monitoring and defending endpoints like desktops, laptops, servers and even mobile devices. These solutions can provide real-time visibility into attacks and aid your business with the ability to detect and even prevent threats before they reach your endpoints. EDR solutions provide a robust defense against attacks and can help keep your sensitive data from being compromised.  

Managed Detection Response (MDR) 

Managed Detection and Response, or MDR, is considered an advanced security solution that combines technology, threat intelligence and human judgment to provide 24/7 monitoring, detection and response to threats. With proactive threat detection, incident response and ongoing security expertise, MDR is considered a solution that goes above and beyond traditional security solutions. Get a leg up on protection with this all-inclusive solution.  

Next-Generation Firewall 

Are you looking for a traditional firewall with additional security features like application control, intrusion prevention and even advanced threat intelligence? Look no further with a next-generation or NGFW. These types of firewalls provide your business with enhanced visibility into threats while also giving you better visibility into the traffic coming and going through your networks. With these features, your organization can strengthen its security posture, and you’ll gain peace of mind.  

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) 

SIEM, or security information and event management, is an approach that uses SIM and SEM in one unified system. These solutions collect and analyze security logs and information from different sources within the IT infrastructure. This can allow an organization to detect and respond to security incidents quickly and effectively. Together, these unified systems improve security monitoring, incident detection and response capabilities while empowering your security team to effectively identify and mitigate threats before they occur.  

Emerging Cybersecurity Technologies 

We’ve discussed some great essential solutions that your organization can implement to improve your security posture, but were you aware of emerging cybersecurity technologies that could also benefit your business? The cybersecurity field is continuously evolving to keep pace with emerging threats that are popping up left and right, so it would make sense that technologies are also advancing. Some common examples of these emerging technologies are: 

  • Zero Trust Architecture 
  • Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) 
  • Extended Detection and Response (XDR) 
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) 

These are just a few examples of services and solutions you can expect to see on the cybersecurity horizon. Do any of these catch your eye?
