ARCHANGEL2.0 NGFW 2023 QUIZZ CLUE Nr 4

A defense system against cyberattacks must consider every factor that could directly or indirectly aid malicious individuals in infiltrating a computer system. These attackers aim to either enrich themselves through Ransomware or engage in espionage, steal data, secrets, or cause harm for malevolent purposes.

Professional and popular literature continually highlights the dangers associated with internet connections, emphasizing the necessity for extreme caution and adopting a ZERO TRUST mindset when interacting with anything online. This analogy can be compared to wearing masks during a pandemic.

While exercising caution is crucial, it alone is insufficient to fully protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal or professional data, as human errors and manipulations can still pose risks.

To strengthen your data protection, using antivirus software is strongly recommended. However, malicious actors are constantly evolving, creating new threats that may outpace the adaptation of antivirus solutions. This highlights the need for continuous updates and patches to mitigate potential disasters. Comparatively, antivirus functions like a vaccine during an epidemic, but it can only protect against specific types of viruses.

Another critical layer of defense is a robust firewall. Not just any firewall will do; it should act as an anti-missile shield, capable of countering various cyberattacks, regardless of their origin or intent.

Analogous to securing a protected area from burglars, internal protection systems like MICRO-SEGMENTATION or compartmentalization are essential by forcing intruders to renew their attacks and increasing their risk of exposure, this strategy limits the damage they can inflict.

However, for this protection system to be truly effective, it must follow the ZERO TRUST principle to its fullest extent. It should be meticulously rigorous, allowing only authorized access, rather than relying on trust assumptions, applying the RULE OF EVERYTHING IS FORBIDDEN except what is explicitly authorized, contrary to the usual approach.

Adopting such an approach ensures that assets are robustly protected, regardless of human behavior, and bolstering overall cybersecurity.

The integrated defense system of ARCHANGEL 2.0 offers comprehensive protection for your peace of mind, securing your IT installations, mobile and fixed devices, servers, and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.

Hospital Security in Question In a recent article titled "Cyberattacks: Public and Private Hospitals, Is the Worst Yet to Come?", Jean-Michel Tavernier1 provides a detailed analysis of why the medical sector is a prime target for hackers. He highlights the vulnerabilities that allow hackers to access sensitive data such as medical records, insurance information, and payment details. The compromise of this data can have severe consequences for individuals' privacy, financial security, and even personal safety, not to mention the financial damage to institutions and the risks to the quality of care provided to patients. System Vulnerabilities Tavernier points to the "excessive interdependence of the entire healthcare chain." Hospitals collaborate with a multitude of interconnected providers and partners, creating numerous opportunities for attackers. He suggests managing the attack surface (ASM), which means controlling and securing all entry points where unautho...

ERRARE HUMANUM EST The Inescapable Nature of Human Error and Its Implications in Cybersecurity To err is human; one could even say it is a defining characteristic of humanity. Who has never made a mistake, whether out of distraction, ignorance, or because it was provoked? No one is immune to making mistakes, and most of the time, they are forgivable, even if their consequences can be very damaging. However, the fundamental, unforgivable error is doing nothing to avoid situations that lead to mistakes. Thus, to minimize errors due to distraction, one should avoid multitasking (for example, a surgeon operating should not be distracted by a nurse recounting her latest adventures) and refrain from performing actio...
