Security Professionals Must Reinforce Detect Attacks to Avoid Unauthorized Data Exposure

Abstract

Organizations face the probability of being hacked because of weak and inadequate cybersecurity implementations. Hackers are still able to breach a system when security tools such as firewalls, SIEM, anti-virus software, encryption, and IDPS are readily in place within an organization. Digital criminals are responsible for increased network breaches using elusive security tools to penetrate secure environments with sophistication. Cyberattacks are continually increasing due to the sophistication and innovation of cyber attackers. Many vulnerable areas must be reinforced against cybercriminals, Insider threats, inadequate employee training, and negligence. Monetary investment in cybersecurity and management support plays a significant role in assuring the implementation of information security throughout any organizational processes. The implication for practice can provide organizations with approaches on how to mitigate cyber exploits and safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by bridging the gap between incident detection and response.
