When you think of the 1980s classic Ghostbusters, you think of a group of paranormal investigators busting ghosts and saving New York City from supernatural chaos. But beyond the iconic catchphrases and ghostly gags, the Ghostbusters leverage a variety of effective tactics to combat the world of the unknown - similar to the tactics required in your organization’s digital defense strategy against data breaches, ransomware, malware, data exposures and insider threats (to name a few).
While the Ghostbusters can confirm paranormal activity through left behind ectoplasm (green slime!), detecting a data compromise in your organization unfortunately isn’t as easy as that. On that note, let’s take a look at Cyera’s top Data Busting techniques:
Protect
Data busting wouldn’t be possible without the help of a comprehensive toolkit of cybersecurity solutions. Similar to the proton packs, ghost traps and PKE meters our favorite ghostbusters use, the world of cybersecurity calls for similar solutions.
An effective Data Security Posture Management solution is a critical foundation to equip your organization with. This platform helps you discover, classify and remediate your data risks by providing deep data context and an understanding of sensitive data across your entire data estate. This also includes proactive security insights that determine potential data risks. Sounds pretty similar to the way a PKE meter detects ghosts, doesn’t it?
Additionally, layering your DSPM with an Data Security Incident Response service will help your organization get ahead of a data breach by analyzing your digital environment’s breach readiness. Cyera’s Incident Response service addresses data security concerns with two unique services; 1) a Breach Readiness assessment and 2) a Post Incident Breach Response offering. These services provide a comprehensive, engaging, and practical way to evaluate your organization’s breach readiness.
Leveraging a Data Risk Assessment can also help your organization conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your data security posture, highlighting weaknesses with recommended improvements to protect your data and enhance overall security.
Comply
Compliance and data sovereignty are another key element in the world of cybersecurity. Data sovereignty refers to the concept that data is subject to the laws and governance structures of the country in which it is collected or processed, and it is essential to comply with these rules and regulations.
A Data Security platform with rich context and identity awareness can help your organization protect sensitive data and comply with regional regulations. For instance, the identity context and their level of access to sensitive data enables practitioners to understand and correct the over-permissive access of employees, third parties and non-human identities like services, AI tools, and applications.
Respond
Who you gonna call? In the instance of an incident, don’t fear getting slimed by Slimer the ghost (or compromised data in this case)... call on your Cyera Data Security Incident Response team! Our team of experienced experts are ready to jump in the Ecto-Data car to support your most mission critical data security needs.
An effective incident response team, similar to the Ghostbusters, will couple up the right technology and resources to respond to an incident. With Cyera, you can leverage and retain a team of elite cybersecurity practitioners to evaluate and respond to data security incidents post breach, helping you identify data security risks, remove ambiguity related to materiality, and determine the fastest path to recovery.
And once you call us, you can continue to count on us. Cyera ensures continuous monitoring and prompt response - delivering a piece of mind for the customers in the face of future data related “paranormal activity”.
Leverage
Phew! You just dodged a massive data breach with the help of your Data Busting team. Now what?
An effective Data Security Incident Response service should offer the opportunity for organizations to add a force multiplier to their typical Cybersecurity Incident response retainer arrangements. This service offers customers an opportunity to execute a Breach Readiness Assessment with table top exercises to prepare for the possibilities of a breach. Additionally, there is an allocation of post breach consulting hours to provide a parallel focus on the impact to data from the incident; to shrink the mean time to materiality and enable confident disclosure.
Just like the Ghostbusters use the proton pack and ghost trap to keep the ghosts contained, the Post Incident Breach Response equips your organization with the insights to contain a breach and defend your data from an incident.
