Cyber Security
Many Information Technology Managers think Antivirus, Firewalls, Backups and Patching are sufficient security.
A basic security setup involving an antivirus (endpoint security product), network firewalls, data backups, and regular system/software patching is insufficient to thwart potentially catastrophic cybersecurity incidents. In many cases, IT managers, particularly in smaller organizations, may lack adequate controls and procedures to ensure comprehensive enterprise protection.
To address this, widely recognized security frameworks like NIST CSF are employed to establish and enhance cybersecurity controls. However, comprehending the framework can be challenging for IT managers seeking a practical checklist or task list for implementing strategic solutions.
Apex Developments' consultants help your IT department to understand the NIST CSF framework. By developing a strategic plan for implementing controls and recommending tools and services that enhance your organization's overall cybersecurity maturity.
