For National Preparedness Month in September, Keeper Security, a leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software, urges businesses to prepare for the rising tide of cyber threats by prioritizing fundamental cybersecurity practices. With more sensitive data being stored online, the risk of breaches and exploitation is at an all-time high. In a recent survey conducted by Keeper Security, 82% of U.S. IT and security professionals reported a year-over-year increase in cyber attacks targeting their organizations. To defend against the most common cyber threats, as well as emerging threat vectors, fundamental, yet often neglected, cybersecurity best practices must be prioritized.

A recent report from the Identity Theft Resource Center reveals there were 1,571 data compromises in the U.S., just in the first half of 2024. Strengthening data security processes is a crucial step to mitigate organizational risk in today’s evolving threat landscape. Key practices such as implementing robust data encryption, regularly updating and patching systems, and implementing strong access controls can help protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Keeper advises organizations of all sizes to implement the following fundamental protections:

• Establish regular employee training on cybersecurity best practices and phishing awareness.
• Implement strong access controls and conduct regular security audits to mitigate the risk of insider threats.
• Strengthen account protection by adopting a password management solution and enforcing the use of MFA.

Conduct Regular Cybersecurity Training for Employees

Just as preparedness is key to mitigating the risk and potential damage associated with natural disasters, it’s also essential in cybersecurity. Regular employee training and education on cybersecurity best practices are crucial for protecting an organization from evolving cyber threats. Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report reveals 68% of breaches involved a non-malicious human element, such as a person falling victim to a social engineering attack or making an error. This can lead to devastating consequences.

A significant majority of respondents to Keeper’s recent survey – 67% – identified phishing as one of the most common cyber threats facing their organizations, with more than half (53%) reporting a significant increase in the frequency of these attacks. The human element is often the most vulnerable link in the attack chain, underscoring the criticality of educating users and conducting phishing simulations to enhance overall security awareness.

By training employees to recognize and respond to simulated phishing attacks, organizations can effectively prepare their frontline defenders to question unexpected notifications, report suspicious activity promptly and foster a culture of vigilance – ultimately strengthening their cybersecurity posture.

Beware of Insider Threats, Both Malicious and Unintentional

Preparedness extends to understanding and mitigating insider threats, whether malicious or unintentional, which pose significant risks to organizations. Keeper’s survey found that 28% of respondents experienced a cyber attack originating from an employee. To mitigate these risks, organizations should implement strong access controls and offboarding processes, provide comprehensive employee training and conduct regular security audits. Deploying a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution can further enhance security by centralizing and controlling access to sensitive systems and data, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

Implement Processes and Technologies To Prevent and Thwart Attacks

In a world where data breaches have become increasingly common, preparedness is essential. Creating strong, unique passwords for each account remains a critical first line of defense against unauthorized access, yet many organizations and individuals fail to follow password best practices. Keeper’s survey found that nearly 40% of respondents identified password reuse as their most common password-related error. A password manager creates and stores high-strength, random passwords for every website, application and system, helping prevent the domino effect in which the compromise of one account leads to further unauthorized access.

In addition, password managers can help avoid incidents of stolen passwords, which impact 43% of IT and security leaders. These tools also support strong forms of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), such as an authenticator app, to add additional layers of protection to accounts, making unauthorized access significantly more difficult. When selecting a password manager, it’s important to prioritize providers that offer transparent security architecture, zero-knowledge and zero-trust infrastructure, and certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, as well as FedRAMP Authorization, to ensure the highest level of protection.

“During National Preparedness Month, it’s vital for organizations to prioritize fundamental security best practices,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-Founder of Keeper Security. “By being prepared with strong password management, enabling multi-factor authentication and staying vigilant against phishing scams, we can significantly reduce our vulnerability to cyber threats and protect our sensitive information.”

As National Preparedness Month highlights the importance of being ready for all types of emergencies, now is the time for organizations to assess their cybersecurity preparedness. By taking proactive measures and following fundamental cybersecurity practices, they can significantly reduce their vulnerability to cyber threats and protect valuable information.

F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced it is bringing robust application security and delivery capabilities to AI deployments powered by Intel. This new joint solution combines industry-leading security and traffic management from F5’s NGINX Plus offering with the cutting-edge optimization and performance of the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit and Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs) to deliver superior protection, scalability, and performance for advanced AI inference.

As organizations increasingly adopt AI to power intelligent applications and workflows, efficient and secure AI inference becomes critical. This need is addressed by combining the OpenVINO toolkit—which optimizes and accelerates AI model inference—with F5 NGINX Plus, providing robust traffic management and security.

The OpenVINO toolkit simplifies the optimization of models from almost any framework to enable a write-once, deploy-anywhere approach. This toolkit is essential for developers aiming to create scalable and efficient AI solutions with minimal code changes.

F5 NGINX Plus enhances the security and reliability of these AI models. Acting as a reverse proxy, NGINX Plus manages traffic, ensures high availability, and provides active health checks. It also facilitates SSL termination and mTLS encryption, safeguarding communications between applications and AI models without compromising performance.

To further boost performance, Intel IPUs offload infrastructure services from the host CPU, freeing up resources for AI model servers. The IPUs efficiently manage infrastructure tasks, opening up resources to enhance the scalability and performance of both NGINX Plus and OpenVINO Model Servers (OVMS).

This integrated solution is particularly beneficial for edge applications, such as video analytics and IoT, where low latency and high performance are crucial. By running NGINX Plus on the Intel IPU, the solution helps ensure rapid and reliable responses, making it ideal for content delivery networks and distributed microservices deployments.

“Teaming up with Intel empowers us to push the boundaries of AI deployment. This collaboration highlights our commitment to driving innovation and delivers a secure, reliable, and scalable AI inference solution that will enable enterprises to securely deliver AI services at speed. Our combined solution ensures that organizations can harness the power of AI with superior performance and security,” said Kunal Anand, Chief Technology Officer at F5.

“Leveraging the cutting-edge infrastructure acceleration of Intel IPUs and the OpenVINO toolkit alongside F5 NGINX Plus can help enable enterprises to realize innovative AI inference solutions with improved simplicity, security, and performance at scale for multiple vertical markets and workloads,” said Pere Monclus, Chief Technology Officer, Network and Edge Group of Intel.

The solution is now available. For more information, visit f5.com/intel. In addition, a companion blog from F5 CTO Kunal Anand provides further insight on this offering.
