[Free Ebook] More Than Monitoring: A Focused Approach to Cybersecurity

The need for enhanced cybersecurity has been making a lot of headlines lately. Frankly, it’s frightening, especially for business owners, directors, and anyone with informational assets worth securing. Information is a significant component of most organizations’ competitive strategy; either by collecting, managing, or retaining it. Any impact to that strategy should not be underestimated or neglected.

The pressure is on organizations’ decision-makers to stay ahead of businessderailing impacts. Maybe that means extra training or recruitment for an existing IT department or hiring an in-house cybersecurity team. Maybe it means purchasing an expensive piece of software that purports to “do it all.” These solutions are typically expensive, and funding for them isn’t always available. Outsourced services aren’t always reliable, either.

It’s why we built a state-of-the-art cybersecurity operations center

A typical security operations center monitors networks and alerts on threats. NTG’s Cybersecurity Operations Center (CSOC) monitors, detects, contains, and remediates threats across applications, devices, systems, networks, and locations. It performs these functions and more, remotely, on a 24/7/365 basis.

We don’t intend to stoke the fear factor too much in this book, but cybercrime is extremely prevalent at the time of this publication. Ransomware attacks are up over one thousand percent since 2020.

Cybersecurity has evolved beyond the confines of IT. As our world transforms—as we rely more and more on digital resources— cybersecurity has become a social responsibility for all of us. It’s why today’s cybersecurity solutions call for more than monitoring
