InBase Offers Cybersecurity Recommendations to Mitigate Attacks

InBase, a leading software solutions developer, has published recommendations for addressing vulnerabilities that can lead to cyberattacks. This announcement follows recent incidents affecting government agencies, where unprotected systems, a lack of timely updates, and incorrect security configurations in data processing centers were identified as primary causes for malware intrusion.

Experience shows that systems with properly configured access rights and security protocol-compliant administration have avoided attacks or minimized their consequences. InBase particularly emphasizes that an attacker gaining operating system administrator privileges renders most protective mechanisms ineffective.

Key Recommendations for Enhanced Cybersecurity:

• Principle of Least Privilege: Run any service under a user account with the minimum necessary privileges. Running application software as an administrator often indicates incorrect configurations.
• Utilize Built-in Protection Tools: Do not disable built-in operating system security features such as firewalls, Windows Defender, or SELinux for Linux.
• Secure Remote Administration: For remote server administration, use hardware tokens exclusively for login instead of passwords.
• Timely Updates: Regularly update server software, especially for Windows operating systems.

For Ukrainian businesses and the Intecracy Group audience, these recommendations are highly relevant. They help strengthen defenses against cyberattacks amidst growing threats, reduce the risks of critical data loss and financial damage, and improve the overall resilience of IT infrastructure. Implementing these simple yet effective measures contributes to building a secure digital environment for conducting business.
