Cyber Signals: Risks to critical infrastructure on the rise

Securing IoT solutions with a Zero Trust security model starts with non-IoT specific requirements—specifically ensuring you have implemented the basics to securing identities and their devices and limiting their access. These requirements include explicitly verifying users, having visibility into the devices on the network, and real-time risk detections.

A basic cybersecurity assessment can help an organisation to:

Understand its current security level and gaps.
Prioritise the most critical issues and remediation actions.
Establish a baseline for future improvement and monitoring.
Comply with relevant standards and regulations.
Enhance the awareness and culture of security among the staff and stakeholders.
