As we head into 2021, enterprises are looking to shed the limitations of a traditional enterprise and move to a model that is flexible, accessible, and yet scalable. Irrespective of the kind of business, digital or brick and mortar, enterprises across the industry spectrum are putting together plans to transform their businesses to take advantage of cloud-based capabilities to make them more and more agile and responsive to addresses future risks. At CMS IT we believe this is the new normal.

With cloud adoption increasing at an exponential rate, cybercriminals are not far behind. Cybercrimes cost an unprecedented $6 trillion in 2020! And the most common root cause is unmanaged change. Cybersecurity in the face of change brings forth a few challenges –

CMS IT Services realizes that selecting the right solution for your Cloud Transformation initiative is key to your success when handling cyber disruptions and that is exactly why Defensible Cybersecurity suggests that you review your cybersecurity controls using 7 distinguishable points of control.

The most essential tool to address change is to have a formal program that can monitor and detect the change and act instantly to make necessary corrections. CMS IT recommends considering a ‘Detect’ solution, as soon solutions and mechanisms to Protect are established.

Nearly all successful attacks on cloud services are the result of customer misconfiguration, mismanagement, and mistakes.” — Neil MacDonald, Gartner analyst

On a constantly changing cybersecurity landscape, monitoring and detection of the applications, their underlying infrastructure, service dependencies and Cloud Compliance are absolutely critical to be ahead of the cyber attackers. CMS IT recommends 5 key capabilities in every detection program.

While Detect solutions like XDR or eXtended Detection and Response include capabilities to respond to the Indicators of Attack (IoA) and the Indicators of Compromise (IoC), any cybersecurity attack needs a more formal coordinated response capability.

Most standards and regulations insist the Cybersecurity Response capabilities must be considered before, during, and after a cybersecurity attack. CMS IT Services provides services to prepare for, respond to, withstand and recover from a cyber-attack, use the Integrated Cybersecurity Command Center to build pre-emptive response, command, and control and threat hunting as may be required to address threats.
