Application Control

Application control is a strategy that allows organizations to define and control which software applications can run on their systems. This helps prevent the execution of unauthorized or potentially malicious software.

Limiting Administrative Privileges

Limiting administrative privileges means providing only essential access to system administrators. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access, as malicious actors often target accounts with high-level privileges.

Patching Applications

Patching applications involves keeping software and programs up to date by applying the latest security patches and updates. This minimizes vulnerabilities that cybercriminals could exploit.

Operating System Updates

Similar to patching applications, this strategy involves keeping the operating system up to date by applying security patches. It’s a fundamental step in reducing the exposure to known vulnerabilities.

Configuring Microsoft Office Macros

This strategy involves configuring the settings within Microsoft Office to control and secure the execution of macros. Proper configuration helps prevent macro-based attacks, a common entry point for malware.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to user logins by requiring multiple methods of verification, such as a password and a unique code sent to a mobile device. This significantly enhances login security.

User Application Hardening

User application hardening focuses on securing user-level applications to make them more resistant to exploitation. This reduces the risk of malicious actors gaining access through these applications.

Data Backup

Regularly backing up data and systems is essential for disaster recovery and business continuity. In the event of a security incident or data loss, having up-to-date backups ensures minimal disruption and data loss.
