FBI: Several nations eye U.S. cybertargets
What I wanted to point out from the report is this statement, “Henry encouraged government agencies and U.S. businesses to worry less about where cyberthreats are coming from and more about how to protect their data and networks.”
Be proactive by taking these steps:
- Know the traffic patterns on your network.
- Monitor the traffic in/out of sensitive segments.
- Install a good IDS/IPS and know how to use it.
- Encrypt data at rest and as it moves.
- Be alert!
Just like when driving on the freeway, being defensive can keep you alive!
