What are Cyber Security Solutions?

Cyber security solutions are tools and services that help protect an organization's critical systems and sensitive information against cyber-attacks, resulting in downtime, theft of sensitive data, damage to reputation, compliance fines, and many other adverse consequences.

The average cost of a data breach reached over 4 million globally in 2021. Security system complexity and a lack of in-house expertise can lead to loss of customer trust, regulatory fines, and even legal action.

Cyber security solutions offered by First Light Technologies, a cloud security services provider, protects organizations against costly cyber breaches through a comprehensive strategy of threat protection, digital trust, and data resiliency. First Light’s advanced solutions detect and block cyberattacks before they can harm your organization’s critical systems and sensitive information, resulting in downtime, theft of sensitive data, damage to reputation, compliance fines, and many other adverse consequences.

First Light’s comprehensive cyber security solutions help organizations minimize the risk of cyber breaches, resulting in a competitive advantage. Maintaining a competitive advantage in the digital economy is increasingly difficult as cybercriminals constantly evolve their methods and targets.

How to evaluate cloud service provider security?

When evaluating a cloud service provider, security is one of the most important factors to consider. The best type of cloud service provider is responsible for securing your data and sensitive information while providing you with a service that is reliable, flexible, and affordable. Cloud Service Providers (CSP's) must have strong security practices and a robust security architecture, which helps prevent cyberattacks. It’s essential to evaluate the CSP’s security posture and architecture and decide which CSP best fits your needs.

Zero Trust Security Strategy

Zero trust is a security approach based on a core belief that organizations should verify everything attempting to connect before granting access. Zero trust means trusting no one and assuming the network is compromised – challenging the user to prove they aren’t attackers. Zero Trust establishes a state of least privilege, so no user or application has only the access needed. A Zero Trust strategy needs to combine security information to generate the context (device security, location, etc.) that informs and enforces validation controls.

Cyber Security Domains

A Cyber Security Domain is a robust cybersecurity strategy that has multiple layers of protection to defend against cybercrimes, including attempts to access, change, or destroy data, extort money from end-users or the organization, or target to disrupt business operations.

Your company security tools should address the following:

Critical infrastructure security is the practice based on layered vigilance, readiness, and resilience of protecting the physical/virtual systems, networks, and other assets that society relies upon for national security, economic health, and public safety.
Endpoint security is software that can deploy on endpoint devices such as servers and workstations that prevent threats such as malware and unauthorized access to help detect and stop breaches as they happen.
Network security protects computer networks from hackers, including wired and wireless (Wi-Fi) connections.
Application security protects applications operating on-premises and/or in the cloud. Security should be built into applications from the bottom up with considerations for how data will be handled and how users authenticate.
Cloud security encrypts cloud data at rest, in motion, and in use to support privacy, business requirements, and compliance standards.
Information security is data protection, such as the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR, securing data from unauthorized access, exposure, or theft.
End-user education builds security awareness across the organization to strengthen security knowledge with end-users.
Disaster recovery consists of tools and procedures for responding to unexpected events, such as natural disasters, power outages, or cybersecurity incidents, with minimal disruption to operations or data.
Storage security (Ex: IBM FlashSystem) delivers data resilience with safeguards such as encryption and immutable/isolated data copies, which supports recovery and minimizes the impact of a cyber-attack.
