The cybersecurity landscape is everchanging, and a proactive approach can turn challenges into opportunities. While no organization can predict every threat, understanding which threats are most likely to impact your organization means you’ re always one step ahead – ready to respond and recover quickly. Even small, focused changes empower your team and fortify your defenses to minimize any potential impact.
Drawing on insights from our Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report 2025, this guide offers practical, real-world recommendations to help you build a resilient, agile security program. Explore recommendations – divided into sections to help you focus your efforts – that protect your organization and pave the way for continued growth and confidence in your cybersecurity journey.
Comprehensive Recommendations to Make Your Organization More Secure
Identity and Access Management( IAM)
1. Enforce strong, unique passwords and employ password managers to maintain good password hygiene. Regular password changes are important, but requiring resets too frequently can create user fatigue, leading to weaker passwords over time.
2. Use single sign-on( SSO) and multifactor authentication( MFA) whenever possible, especially for critical systems, websites, and external-facing applications. 3. Review Active Directory regularly for new accounts and configurations, and disable unnecessary accounts, especially default and admin accounts. These services are a common initial attack vector.
4. Quickly revoke access for terminated or voluntarily departing employees. Also, enforce least-privileged access based on device type, geolocation, user role, and time of day.
5. Implement an internal awareness campaign against sharing logins or accounts. Promote good password hygiene, especially for accounts with admin or other privileged access
6. Be sure you implement these tips for partners and vendors with access to your systems and data. �
