How would your PSAP respond?
Many PSAPs look at power, networking, fiber paths, staffing, software failures, hacking. Sadly, the list goes on. They’re all things that fail and things that will hurt when they do. But how do you stack rank them and engage the most critical before the less critical? How can you TELL where to focus first given the realities of time and budget?
In almost all of the cyberattacks studied in 2016 and 2017, failure to patch - or update - systems regularly was the primary reason hackers were successful. Based on this fact, how sure are you that everything in your environment is patched?
Or do you have multiple vendors – hardware, software, network - all trying to move the solution in slightly different directions? In simple English, two strong arms, two strong legs, a good core… but without a brain to steer, you might not go as far as desired. Dealing with fewer vendors makes it easier for you to understand your risks and what you require.
In other words, can the firewall recognize known bad traffic, or are we just hoping for the best?
Imagine if you were a hacker and got in and EVERYTHING was in ciphertext (aka, gobbledygook).
Or are they making it up based on the fact that they really like XYZ technology / technique? We’ve all seen technical engineers argue back and forth over all the ways to do something. Better to ask for work to be done to a standard.
Where ARE the vulnerabilities - really? We’re all human, and we tend to engage the parts we understand, but that’s not how the hacker will be looking at your system.
That bad guys are going to try and hack your systems, which makes it essential to plan accordingly and get help from security experts.
