👇 10 cyber security gaps that companies should pay attention to in order to avoid data loss and money loss👇

  1. #Unpreparedness. With the rise within the frequency and complexity of cyber incidents within the region and round the world, companies not got to be unprepared for cyber attacks.
  2. Presence of #unknown #threats. Knowing the existence of threats can help companies have strong defenses against future crises.
  3. Absence of active #threat hunting. It is important for companies to actively hunt for threats to stop #cyberattacks and attacks before they happen.
  4. #Lack of monitoring. Making sure that companies have the right monitoring solutions to ensure early detection of potential threats makes it easy to build a strong defense.
  5. #Abuse. Companies need to be reminded that defense processes will be vulnerable to fraud and abuse because they involve relationships with employees.
  6. Lack of wide-ranging defense. Extending any cyber security measures implemented in the company in the remote working system beyond the office constitutes an important defense step.
  7. Ignoring third-party supplier risks . It is extremely important for companies to review and evaluate their security levels as well, to ensure that attackers cannot exploit loopholes to gain access to the corporate network.
  8. Lack of #crisis #management. When events or attacks occur, companies need to manage the crisis correctly. A detailed crisis response plan should be prepared to ensure that employees are aware of their roles and responsibilities.
  9. Not paying attention to the security of #IoT devices . IoT devices are one of those #insecure doors. Companies also need to strengthen the defenses of IoT devices for their cybersecurity.
  10. Failure to provide training to employees. Employees can be both the weakest link and the strongest defense of the institutions. For this reason, it is important for companies to provide #cyber #security #training to their employees.
