Why Cybersecurity Specialists Are Essential in the Age of Online Threats

There’s no two ways about it: If your business is online, you want cybersecurity specialists on your team. Nearly half of all reported breaches last year involved ransomware, with attackers not just targeting weak passwords or old software but also going after edge devices, VPNs, and third-party services that companies trusted by default. The median ransom demand reached $115,000.

What does cybersecurity protect?

Cybersecurity is everything your business uses to keep systems and data safe from online threats. This includes both the tools (like firewalls and authentication systems) as well as the day-to-day practices that keep your defences solid.

Even the basics of business communication — email, video calls, client portals — expose you to attack paths you probably won’t see coming. If someone hijacks one of your accounts or gets into a vendor’s system, they can cause serious operational and financial harm before you even notice. Cybersecurity specialists can help you build systems that prevent and limit the damage from them in the first place.

Where can I find cybersecurity specialists?

CA Cybersecurity Analytics gives you eyes on your system 24/7. Their Security Operations Centre Services provide round-the-clock support to catch and respond to suspicious activity. If something happens, they can immediately analyse and investigate it, and then work with you to resolve it. They use SIEM tools to get detailed insight into what’s happening across your environment. They also run full-scale penetration tests, so you know where attackers might get in before they try.

Aside from protecting your systems, they can also train your people through cyber awareness programs and phishing simulations, which can help your staff recognise and avoid common traps.

Do you need identity protection because your systems rely on trust? If someone slips through with stolen credentials, they can escalate their privileges unnoticed and access all of your confidential data and/or reroute transactions. CA can manage the full lifecycle of identity and access across your business, from risk analysis to live monitoring. They can track and check every login and permission change for signs of abuse or error.

You can rely on CA’s team of cybersecurity specialists to build systems that stay resilient as attack surfaces get broader by the day. Call +48 886 282 803.
