Proactive Cybersecurity - how defenders can get an advantage.
Proactive Cybersecurity - how defenders can get an advantage.
Proactive Cybersecurity
Proactive cybersecurity is the process and tools that allow you to effectively implement cybersecurity controls that have been proven to work against the majority to cyber-attacks over many years. These controls include many from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and many of the NIST 800-53 technical controls. Implementing these controls with an automated system can give you, the defender, an advantage.
Reactive Cybersecurity
Reactive cybersecurity focuses on finding malware after your system has been breached. This includes tools such as Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and log monitoring. Although reactive cybersecurity is important, it is often the case that cybersecurity teams spend the majority of their efforts on this approach and may ignore the clear benefits of proactive cybersecurity.

Ransomware and how to stop it
Most of ransomware breaches can be avoided if five basic controls are implemented.
These breaches can almost all be avoided by implementing cyber defense best practices, such as those recommended by the Center for Internet Security (CIS). Belarc's products can help organizations of any size implement the CIS Top 5 controls in an automated and cost effective way.
Belarc offers a system to monitor these controls in an automated and cost-effective way. Try a free demo of our software to see your blind spots or get our white paper.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a DoD requirement that applies to all organizations in the defense supply chain. The CMMC-AB (CMMC Accreditation Body) is the neutral, accredited, third party that is responsible to certify Assessors and maintain the CMMC standards. The DoD provided the CMMC-AB with version 1.02 of the CMMC model along with other materials.
Belarc's system can be used by Assessors and Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) to meet many of the CMMC Model v1.02 controls.

Enabling Work From Home (WFH) is happening in all organizations today. We need to be sure that those WFH computers are not creating security risks when they VPN into our corporate or government networks. This is equally true for company or government issued computers and personal ones.
The best way to accomplish this is to follow the Center for Internet Security's (CIS) 5 Basic Controls and the recent NIST Security for Enterprise Telework recommendations.
Belarc's BelManage system allows organizations to accomplish this with an automated and cost effective system that can be deployed on premises, on our customer's cloud, or via Belarc SaaS.
