Here are five best practices organizations should consider to help mitigate data breaches and avoid the costly headaches associated with them.
Monitor your team's activity
Monitoring employee behavior and account usage can help organizations detect a suspicious pattern that stops an insider threat before it occurs. However, this strategy is usually ignored due to a lack of intelligent execution just shy of placing surveillance cameras on IT employee desks. Instead, organizations should utilize best practices around keylogging, auditing and live monitoring of IT admin sessions to ensure that a detailed audit of each user's activity is readily available, which can be used to identify suspicious activity before a breach occurs, or to quickly identify the source of an attack that has already taken place.
