The first level of protection from any Cyberattack is the Cybersecurity awareness of the user himself.

at acceler Cybersecurity, we provide multi-levels of Cyber-Threats protection for businesses based on NIST framework and Cybersecurity best practices.

There are five stages for hacking:

01- Reconnaissance (passive and active):

Hackers trying to collect as much as possible information about the targets, passive like finding usernames, emails, reading their posts in social media, or blogs, or doing social engineering...etc. or actively through interacting with the targets directly. This is also were client endpoint security and MSP software agents are playing a critical role to protect the clients. Also, email protection like anti-spam, anti-phishing, using email reputation, and verification mechanisms like DKIM and SPF.

We can protect organizations by monitoring if their user's access information is breached or the systems information is leaked to the dark web. We provide endpoint client security and 24/7 monitoring to clients' PCs. We do also social engineering, training, and compliance to measure and enhance the users' awareness level.

This is a good resource for information and guidance

02- Scanning and Enumeration

Hackers trying to use tools to find vulnerabilities or a way to access the victim system. This is where also the firewalls, VPN, access policy with continuous scanning and monitoring to the systems access logs, having a strong password policy, and using strong authentication and authorization mechanisms are playing the defense role to block unwanted access.

We run vulnerability scanning continuously to find and mitigate them before hackers do. This is why it is so critical to make sure all systems and apps are updated and hardened and are not running with the default configuration.

03-Gaining access

In this process, the vulnerability is located and hackers attempt to exploit it in order to enter into the system.

This is where advanced protection like Sophos, endpoint security, anti-virus, anti-malware, encryptions, multi-level and structured authentication, and authorization are playing the critical defense role.

04-Maintaining access

It is the process where the hacker has already gained access to a system. After gaining access, the hacker installs some backdoors to enter into the system when he needs access in the future.

We check the anomaly activities on the system. The anti-ransomware plays a critical role to prevent hackers from encrypting the organization data, and a strict policy to access the company's critical data providing an extra defense mechanism.

05-Covering Tracks

This process is an unethical activity. It has to do with the deletion of logs of all the activities that take place during the hacking process.

At this point, if the hackers succeeded, then it is time to restore from backups, so it is critical to have frequent backups and more importantly, is to have a workable and untampered backup, This is where offline and cloud backups are critical.

Other tips are provided by the Canadian Cybersecurity center for protecting small businesses.

I hope it has provided some useful information.

Again, we provide multi-levels of Cyber-Threat protection, however, we believe increasing the users' awareness is the first defense mechanism. Such service becoming more necessary to reduce the Cybersecurity insurance bill and is becoming a prerequisite to approving organizations for Cybersecurity insurance in Canada with certain coverage amounts.

Would be more than happy to discuss a proposal for you.
