How do you assess your company’s level of information security?

Amid high-profile leak and hacking scandals, founders are increasingly thinking about how to ensure their businesses have a decent level of security. To answer that question, you need to understand what the world of cyber security consists of and what security tools are relevant at different stages of a company’s development. And for those who are already savvy and want to write on the subject, they can try to attract an audience on instagram to their articles. Which can be achieved more quickly, if you buy real Instagram followers.

Entry Level

An entry-level security layer is when a company whose services can be attacked by anyone by reading the required articles on forums or video tutorials. This is, for instance, the way first-year security students practice.

It is at the initial level of security that there is a high probability of getting under an automated attack — attackers simply scan a network for known vulnerabilities. And once they find the ‘security hole’, they exploit it.

To keep your company safe from novice hackers and un-targeted automated attacks, you can apply static code analysis and use scanners. These will automatically detect and fix bugs and vulnerabilities on the site or application before a public release.

 Low and medium level

More sophisticated attackers can discover vulnerabilities in the site or application by sending in a variety of requests. Depending on how the system responds they may change the attack vector.

In this case, security analysis, manual testing, anti-DDoS solutions, and available firewalls come in handy. They allow you to find technical, logical and all those vulnerabilities that could lead to fraudulent transactions or denial of service.

The purpose of analysis at this level is to identify all possible risks, prioritize them and then eliminate them. This keeps your business safe from cybercriminals without the need for massive resources and time to break into your system.

 Substantial and high level

A significant level of security is already a good reason why most attackers will refuse to take the time to hack into your company. But in the case of targeted attacks (including customized ones), they involve real professionals and entire groups of hackers.

If the attacker, in another attack, manages to gain minimal privileges within your infrastructure — he can authenticate as a legitimate user. This allows them to reuse the credentials to access open addresses and elevate their own privileges within the system. Eventually the hacker will get the domain administrator rights on one of the machines on the internal network and take control of the entire infrastructure.

What protections are relevant

Businesses, especially small ones, often think they have nothing to gain. Yes, it won’t be attacked specifically, but you can simply get caught in a ‘common comb’. For example, if a company website uses a popular WordPress plug-in, attackers could write exploit code for that plug-in, automatically scan the company’s resources for it, and get onto your server. As a result, they will install miners on your server, hack your site or encrypt your database files and then demand a ransom.

IS processes are divided into different groups: incident management, backup processes, personal security policy — what users should do on their PCs, what anti-viruses they should have. For each group, you need to check and “close” the basics.

How a security analysis differs from an ingress test

Once a company has conducted a security analysis, implemented all the security practices, and even formed an internal IS department — inevitably the question arises: “How robust is our protection in practice, what weaknesses through which to penetrate the infrastructure still exist?”

Automated tools protect against basic mistakes. But they cannot understand the logic of an application and try to break it, as hackers do.

How do companies achieve total security?

Many companies work out different products, which can secure your data. If reading this you are a new company that has developed a cool protection system, you can start promoting your product and buy instagram followers. This will help you reach a wider audience.

It is impossible even in theory to think through and foresee every possible attack and protection against it. When product companies reach the highest levels of security but continue to strive for perfection, they enter Bug Bounty, a program where people can be rewarded for finding sophisticated exploits and vulnerabilities. IT giants like Yahoo!, Google, Reddit, Square, Apple, Microsoft and many others participate. Essentially, the companies are officially giving the world permission to attack.
