A Practical and Achievable New Year’s Resolution: Stress Less About Your Cyber Security in 2025
With the New Year finally here, many CISO’s and IT leads will be drawing up their plans for the coming 12 months, including plans for their cyber security. The new year can be a great time to start fresh and adopt new, positive habits both in your personal and professional life; the perfect time to look at your organisations cyber security posture and consider what improvements can be made.
These improvements can range from smaller changes in your organisation’s cyber security best practices, to larger and more comprehensive overhauls to your network and security processes, with larger changes potentially requiring the support of external cyber security specialists – PureCyber are here to provide that support in 2025.
Cyber Security New Years Resolutions
Why not kick off your yearly plans with some New Years resolutions for your cyber security?
First let’s talk health – more specifically the health of your network.
It’s important to give your network an annual check-up to ensure that everything is protected, updated and in order. Conducting CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) scans, evaluating access controls and reviewing firewall configurations are all useful ways to understand the health of your network. Here at PureCyber we provide a comprehensive range of services from more surface level Vulnerability Scanning to deep dive IT Health Checks (ITHC). No matter the scale or depth required, we have a service offering that will work for you and your organisation.
Just as millions of people will be flocking to the gym this January, your organisation should also be training…cyber security training.
Strengthening the ‘human firewall’ of your organisation is arguably one of the most important layers of protection you can invest in. It’s estimated that around 95% of threat incidents involved a degree of human error*, and thus staff cyber security training should be absolutely paramount when considering the most important aspects of your organisational security to invest in. We offer bespoke Cyber Awareness Training options that focus on building the relevant knowledge for teams from foundation level all the way through to more technical courses.
No set of New Years resolutions is complete without a promise to build better routines and consistency. Two crucial elements of a successful cyber security strategy.
Consistent and continuous improvements are crucial to fortifying your organisational cyber security strategy and staying ahead of potential threats. One surefire way to ensure you are always adhering to cyber security best practices is to keep up to date on current regulation and governance compliance.
Our team of governance experts have a history of delivering Cyber Essentials (CE), CEP and IASME certifications for companies across the UK and are able to help guide you through all of your relevant certifications and regulation compliance needs, from foundational CE/CEP and IASME governance, to ISO27001, FISMA and SOC2 standards.
