In 2022, the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) received over 76,000 cybercrime reports, an increase of nearly 13% from 2021. It also reported that the average cybercrime cost a small business over $39,000, a medium business over $88,000, and a large business over $62,000.
With developments in blockchain, artificial intelligence, and IoT, businesses need to equip the following eight cyber security strategies as defined by the ACSC to combat these unforeseen cyber nightmares. Here are the eight cybersecurity strategies from the ACSC:
ManageEngine can help you with all the eight strategies. ManageEngine’s unified endpoint management solution, Endpoint Central, will help you to patch your applications, whitelist applications, harden user applications, restrict administrative privileges, patch operating systems, and enable multi-factor authentication. A separate product 'Recovery Manager Plus' helps with daily backups.
Desktop Central (now Endpoint Central) has been a great implementation in our business. Running it for 4 years now, our system administrators can grab info on each workstation quickly through inventory and it's also been central to software deployments to our workstations, both software we deploy and being able to rely on Windows Updates through it. Having offices in each major city nationwide we can confidently manage everything remotely. Without this product we would have wasted hours of work on the simplest task.
