MFA is the process of requiring another method of authentication after entering your password, such as entering a text code or clicking accept via an app on your cell phone.

“MFA can block over 99.9 percent of account compromise attacks” (Microsoft)

This is one of the best bang for your buck tools for your business. MFA is included for free in many modern softwares, and should be setup on anything accessible outside the office.

Next gen antivirus (NGAV) / Endpoint detection & response (EDR)

 

Every computer should be protected with advanced software to both stop and detect threats. Users’ devices and computers (“endpoints”) are where the vast majority of threats enter your business. EDR is the next evolution of antivirus software, and is substantially more powerful.

Off-site / detached backups

 

In the event of a breach, data and systems will likely need to be restored from backups. Properly setup backups cannot be accessed from the main network, so that attackers cannot delete them to force a ransom payment.

Patching & Vulnerability Scanning

 

New vulnerabilities are found in software every day. Promptly installing these patches (i.e. updates) are critical to preventing attacks. Vulnerability scanning looks at your network to find potentially vulnerable software, and frequently identifies missing patches.
