What is Enterprise Security?

If we talk about holistic enterprise risk management programs, enterprise security is one of its most crucial
components. It comprises systems, processes, and controls in an organized manner for securing IT
systems and critical data.

As companies continue to depend on cloud-based infrastructures, there is an increase in data privacy
and compliance regulations globally. Thus, they need to undertake relevant measures to secure their
crucial assets.

Now, have a look at the common cyber vulnerabilities that large-scale companies face:

What are the Common cyber vulnerabilities of Enterprise Organisations?

Cybersecurity has become one of the leading concerns for companies across all industries, thanks to the
constantly increasing data breach.

Take a look at these common vulnerabilities to stay alert:

• Missing or Weak Data Encryption

With a missing or weak encryption cover, it becomes convenient for cyber attackers to access the data
of the end user's and central server communications. An unencrypted data exchange becomes a hot,
rather easy target of attackers for accessing the crucial data and injecting malicious files onto a server.

Malware files can severely damage a company's efforts towards cyber security adherence, leading to
fines from regulatory authorities. Organizations usually have multiple subdomains, so using a multi-
domain SSL certificate is ideal. They can secure the main domain and multiple domains using a single
certificate.

• Zero-day Vulnerabilities

Some particular software vulnerabilities that an attacker has caught wind of but is yet to be found by an
organization can be defined as zero-day vulnerabilities.

When we talk about zero-day vulnerability, there is no available solution or fix as the vulnerability is yet
to be notified or detected by the system vendor. There is no defense against such vulnerabilities until the
attack has taken place, so naturally they are quite dangerous.

The least you, as an organization, can do is stay cautious and regularly track systems for vulnerabilities
to minimize, if not stop, zero-day attacks. Apart from this, organizations can equip themselves with
comprehensive endpoint security solutions to stay ready for damaging occurrences.
