The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has designated October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In honor of this event, I urge you to take the month of October to become more aware of your computer and network assets.
Inventory and evaluate software for risks
One way to become more aware of your cybersecurity risks is to evaluate and inventory the software your firm uses. We tend to focus on Microsoft patching, but often we overlook actions we can take with third-party that can easily make our systems more secure. Review weaknesses in software and configurations. For this you typically need some sort of inventorying software that can analyze your network.
