18 essential measures for optimum cyber-resilience

Adopt a rigorous approach for enhanced digital security

Cybersecurity is a strategic issue for all organizations. A rigorous, proactive approach is essential to cope with growing threats. Here are 18 must-have measures that strengthen cyber resilience by covering the essential pillars: security, availability, performance and compliance.

Proactive, robust defense

A robust security posture is based on preventive and reactive measures: up-to-date systems, rapidly applied patches, advanced endpoint protection (EDR, MFA) and isolated backups. The aim? Reduce the attack surface and limit the impact of threats.

Safety: Reducing risks and enhancing protection

1. Use of supported operating system versions

  • Up-to-date inventory of information assets
  • Upgrade, offload or mitigation plan for obsolete servers, workstations, mobile devices and telecom equipment

2. Regular updates and patches

  • Detection and application of patches on servers, workstations and mobile devices
  • Automated update strategy and validation of teleworking jobs

3. Deploying an EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution

  • EDR antivirus for servers and workstations

4. Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

  • Mandatory for access to systems exposed on the Internet

5. Backups and disaster recovery

  • Isolated backup infrastructure
  • Daily backup strategy with periodic restore tests

6. Email security

  • Encryption solution and employee training on secure data exchange

7. Vulnerability management for online assets

  • Registration for vulnerability scanning and ongoing patching process

8. Continuous access monitoring

  • Logging and detection of abnormal connection attempts

9. Captcha authentication protection

  • Implementation on external services
Strengthen your organization's security, availability and compliance with a clear framework for optimized cybersecurity.

A resilient infrastructure

A secure service is an available service. Notifications of suspicious access, secure data transmission and phishing simulations help anticipate threats and ensure seamless continuity.

Maintaining access to services, in complete confidence

Adopt a rigorous approach for enhanced digital security

10. Notification of suspicious access or modifications

  • Automatic warning to users

11. Secure transmission of sensitive data

  • Secure alternative to e-mail for confidential data exchanges

12. Phishing simulations

  • Ongoing, engaging employee awareness campaigns

13. Procedures in the event of threats

  • Internal guidelines for managing malicious e-mails and detected threats

Performance: Efficient access and resource management

Successful cybersecurity relies on strict access control, continuous employee awareness and rigorous event logging. Well-defined processes ensure a fluid, secure environment.

Efficient management for a controlled environment

14. Rigorous access management

  • Process for adding, revising and removing access (employees and administrators)
  • Access logging tool

15. Continuing education in cybersecurity

  • Ongoing employee awareness of best practices

16. Security event logging

  • Centralized, compliant storage of safety logs

Compliance: Clear governance and rigorous monitoring

Successful cybersecurity relies on strict access control, continuous employee awareness and rigorous event logging. Well-defined processes ensure a fluid, secure environment.

17. Technology infrastructure documentation

  • Centralization and regular updating of network plans and equipment

18. Secure mobile device management

  • Requirements and protection measures for mobile applications
  • Usage policy and user awareness

In the face of growing cyberthreats, a proactive approach is crucial.

By applying these 18 measures, organizations strengthen their security posture and reduce their exposure to cyber threats. It’s not just a question of ticking boxes, but of establishing a culture of cybersecurity within the organization.
