Cyber Security Expert Kieran Upadrasta Offers Tools for Thwarting Advanced Persistent Threats

APT’s are a leading causative factor for data breaches in companies of all sizes

 

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, OCTOBER 13, 2016 - Cyber security expert Kieran Upadrasta is lending his services to help organizations combat one of the leading causes of data breaches, which can cause a chain reaction of financial liability and reputation damage.

 

According to Upadrasta, companies of all sizes and scopes are susceptible to advanced persistent threats. If preventative action is taken, companies can succumb to a devastating attack. When an advanced persistent threat (APT) occurs, an unauthorized person gains access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period of time. During this time, data can easily be stolen. While APTs aren’t designed to cause immediate damage to a company, data breaches can cause major problems when it comes to liability and reputation.

 

To prevent APTs, Upadrasta recommends a blended approach that consists of both user behavior analytics and continuous monitoring.

 

With continuous monitoring, strategies and technology are leveraged to detect security and compliance issues before the risks become problematic. User behavior analytics (UBA) offer comprehensive tools for tracking, collecting, and analyzing user data and activities. With the help of monitoring systems, UBA offers critical data that security teams can use to stop APTs before they happen.

 

Upadrasta says that prevention is key. Once a network attack has occurred and data has been stolen, the damage can’t be undone.

 

Upadrasta lends his two decades of expertise in cyber security, governance, and risk and compliance to assist companies of all scopes in securing data and protecting their networks.

 

With both continuous monitoring and UBA in place, APTs can be prevented, and companies can rest at ease knowing they won’t have a controversial data breach on their hands. More information can be found at http://www.kieranupadrasta.com/.
