Not all threats are malicious cyber-attacks, and the recent Salesforce outage proves this, causing a business slowdown around the globe. The right data center security can be a step ahead of this kind of internal threat, using best practices to limit the fallout in case of a disaster.
Security misconfiguration has often been a challenge for security teams, but hybrid cloud data centers have increased the risk further. Learning about your application behaviors and making sure you have strong granular visibility can limit this risk and strengthen your security posture overall.
Your Point of Sale solution needs a specific kind of security, to handle internet access, sensitive customer data, and an insecure environment that is easily breached. Assume your POS is breached, and set up a smart security posture using tight micro-segmentation policy.
Understanding how to build a thorough, step-by-step incident response plan can be the difference between a quick recovery and the end of your business. If and when a breach occurs, your business will be asked how you prepared for an incident. Creating a detailed analysis of how your company prepares for a threat, responds in the moment, and learns from the experience puts you one step ahead, and ready for anything.
