Since cyberattacks on many sectors, such as the healthcare, industry, financial, are on the rise, what are the best recommended preventive measures do we put in place, to reduce this threat.
The best ways to reduce cyber attacks in the financial industry is to first identify the threats. Once the threat is identified, you must work with a mixed team of people who understand how to attack and design a security defense. The most attacks to the financial sector is the online banking login details so the security design must be built around login details.
The cybersecurity attacks are any type of offensive maneuver that targets computer information systems, infrastructures, computer networks, or personal computer components. A cyberattack could be employed by nation-states, individuals, groups, society or firm. A cyberattack may originate from an anonymous source. A cyberattack may steal, alter, or destroy a specified target by hacking into a susceptible system.
It would also be great to see what type of incident response plans to implement based on the sector.
Cyber attacks are very dangerous nowadays.
When this will stop...
Network segmentation is one very valuable method to enhance cyber-security. This could take numerous forms including separating networks and their architecture. This would help in containing any breach when it does happen so it can’t spread through the whole network. Creating air gaps is another very valuable tool for protecting systems and networks. Finally, it is important to emphasize that its impossible to stop or prevent all attacks and that the sectors you mentioned need to focus on risk mitigation strategies. It is important for these sectors to develop incident response plans so that when a breach does occur they are prepared. Incident response plans are a great way to identify and contain breaches when they occur because there are steps in place and employees aren’t left uncertain with respect to response protocols. :)
Identify key threats and ensure that identity management processes address these threats, decide on the data or information to be protected, choose a pragmatic approach to actually respond to potential attacks, generate a sense of urgency as a safety culture among employees, get the services of a good forensic supplier as quickly as possible, and consider the role of big data integrate data analysis with human threat research. This are the security measures we can take to keep our-self save from cyber-attacks, although we cannot guarantee it.
I recently came across information touting Remote Access Security as an effective method to eliminate, or at least considerably mitigate risks of threat penetration.
Has anyone any experience with this type of system. More specifically, what would be its incidence on the required level of increasing safety culture amongst employees, if any?
The scale of cyber attacks has been increasing prominently in recent years. Various industries are using different techniques to tackle them. If the industries can understand the current cyber security trends, it will be helpful for them to understand the vulnerability and to find solutions for them. But the main problem is that, with the development of technologies, hackers are also developing news techniques to hack data. So anyway industries will have to keep themselves updated each and every second.
Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected systems, including hardware, software, and data, from cyberattacks. In a computing context, security comprises cybersecurity and physical security -- both are used by enterprises to protect against unauthorized access to data centers and other computerized systems.cybersecurity is one of the parts of web page creation firewall.
Cybersecurity is the trending topic for the IT world.

actually they are ways to avoid it. I agree with KarenGeorge.
Instead of trying out completely a new thing, it's better to give preference to monitoring software designed for the ease of organizations. Apart from preventing data breach, you can track your employee's activities to avoid any kind of inconvenience.
Boyofo,
All devices that have an IP address should be secured with a lengthy, complex password.
I am a security researcher. To keep hackers out and shore up your security efforts you'll need to train your staff to recognize sophisticated phishing attempts. Make sure that employees, guests and their personal devices can only access the guest account. Even the guest account should use a lengthy, complex password.
Your IT staff should be constantly updating the software and firmware being used throughout the company. Firewalls and routers should be blocking certain website traffic. You may want to use VLANs to segregate / sandbox important resources from the rest of the network. Any remote accesses should be done using a VPN and be sure to disable ftp and telnet connectivity.
I recently came across a new open-source firewall named CrowdSec and decided to install it (it’s free). It can detect malicious behaviors, and protect your systems from pretty much all types of attacks. The technology is very easy to install and use. I had a chat with the guys behind it and they definitely know their stuff! They are aiming to build a reputation database which they will share with their user community while also using behavior and reputation features. Definitely worth a try!
you need just a good security team
The best ways to reduce cyber attacks in the financial industry and IT industry is to implement GRC. where we can identify the risk and resolve it by governing the objectives and set up the compliance. we can make the organization safe and secure environment to work using GRC.

Investing in a quality advanced threat protection service for all aspects of your operation is probably the best bet. Depending on your exact industry the best services can vary but you can compare services for your industry and the software/cloud storage platforms your team uses and see what is best.
