Ideally, cybersecurity problems should be handled before they have a chance to occur. Having a sound strategy for preventing issues is crucial. A good preventive measure is to perform proper penetration tests. A penetration test mimics a real cyber-attack and tests the general state and capabilities of your security systems. It’s important to know your network’s weakest spots and be sure that your cybersecurity software and information security team can deal with all kinds of threats.
Have you done everything you can to minimize both internal/external threats?
