• Penetration testing: By thinking the way a cybercriminal would, organizations should regularly scan their IT environments for vulnerabilities, such as unpatched software, authentication errors, and more. 
  • Automated monitoring systems: Alongside manual processes, organizations should enhance their cybersecurity by integrating automated threat detection systems. These platforms can help organizations by tracking device performance and activity, monitoring web traffic, and notifying the cybersecurity team when irregularities are detected. 
  • User behavior analytics: By analyzing user behavior, an organization can better understand what normal behavior for an employee would look like. This includes the kind of data they access, the time of day during which they log on, and their physical location. That way, any outlying behavior will stand out as unusual, and it will be easier for a security analyst to know what behavior to investigate.
