Prepare your organisation for emerging threats
Improve your critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
On average, hackers have shown the ability to penetrate a company’s internal network in just 2 days.
Cyber threats are becoming one of the most expensive and persistent security issues faced by organisations of all levels.
Studies have discovered that in 93% of cases, cybercriminals can infiltrate an organisation’s network perimeter and gain access to local resources in facilities including financial organisations, energy companies, government bodies, and IT businesses.
For organisations that deal with sensitive data, these numbers highlight a growing need for improved critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity Ventures forecasted that a cyberattack will occur every 11 seconds by 2022.
How to establish cybersecurity critical infrastructure protection strategies
Cybercriminals thrive on vulnerabilities—in the security framework, employee awareness, or ransomware—and exploit them to breach security networks and devices.
Organisations can roll out several protocols to respond to and prepare for these attacks.
Invest in user education
Invest in high-quality cybersecurity education for your team to expand their awareness of cyberattacks.
Build an up-to-date, concrete curriculum for your employees and follow up with good testing to make sure the concepts are put into practice.
Practice good user account management
Protocols like two-factor authentication, frequent password changes or password rotation, VPN from outside the organisation, and compliance audits establish good cyber hygiene within your organisation.
They also help reduce the risks of malware attacks if an account is compromised.
Update your software
Many attackers keep databases of software vulnerabilities, which they can then use as a ground for malicious bots. Make sure you have a process for routinely monitoring the state of your software and keeping it current so that your security system is strengthened.
Segment your network
An attack on one part of your network could harm another, more critical part of that network.
By segmenting your network, you can prevent interaction where it’s not necessary and avoid a total system breakdown in case of a malware attack.
Encrypt your critical information
You can reduce the risk of critical data loss by having it encrypted—especially your most critical cybersecurity infrastructure—in the first place.
If your information is encrypted, cybercriminals won't be able to access the content of your information without the keys.

FAQs
When it comes to ransomware attacks, government and military is the second most targeted sector, facing an average of 1,136 weekly attacks.
In addition, government facilities and other national-level institutions are host to some of the most sensitive information—about people and the state—that can cause high-level security threats in the wrong hands.
By protecting your organisation against these attacks, you're not only preserving your brand reputation but also preventing national-level security threats that could cripple multiple functions.
Most ransomware attacks that happen within an organisation occur due to employees' lack of awareness of cyber threats and cybersecurity. Actions like opening emails from unknown senders or clicking on links that aren't secure pose an immense threat to businesses.
By educating your staff on cybersecurity and coaching them on the best practices, you're training them to prevent, counter, and respond to potential future attacks.
VOROR provides organisations with critical national infrastructure solutions for their cybersecurity, including Zero-Trust Assured Protocol solutions, Zero Trust email architecture solutions, and government-grade cryptography services.
