October marks Cybersecurity Awareness Month in US and it’s a good occasion to remind of being cyber smart, particularly now, as many people are working remotely all over the world. Here’s our top tips on how to organize your new business reality.

1. Prevention is better then cure. Train your employees on cyber security as 24% of data breaches are caused by human error (IBM).
2. Be ready to protect your business from intentional internal threats as 34% of data breaches in 2018 involved internal actors, 71% of breaches are financially motivated (Verizon).
3. Mind your field of activity. Government, retail and technology are among the most vulnerable spheres, counting 95% of breached records in 2016 (TechRepublic). But, for example, Healthcare is the most expensive industry for a data breach at $6.45 million (IBM).
4. Get ready to detect data breach and collect information for forensic investigation. In 2019, companies, able to detect and contain a breach in less than 200 days spent $1.2 million less on the total cost of a breach (IBM). Worth mentioning, that 77% of security and IT professionals indicated they do not have a cybersecurity incident response plan applied consistently across the enterprise (IBM).
5. Invest in next generation Data Loss Prevention solutions, that will prevent internal threats and protect your business from external ones. Worldwide, IT security spending in 2019 was projected to grow 8.7% over 2018’s figure (Gartner).
