What's in your Cyberstack?

While a Security Practice is the strategic plan to identify, mitigate and counter security threats, a Tech Stack essentially involves various tools and platforms, ranging from simple Antiviruses and Firewalls to sophisticated tools like DNS Filters.

The cybersecurity tech stack acts as an enabler to your security practices by providing an architecture framework of various tools to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Adopting a cybersecurity tech stack additionally includes components that protect your digital assets, network, core services, operating system, databases, web servers, and custom web apps from cyber attacks.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework illustrates how layers of security solutions should work together to minimize the risk of cyberthreats. It’s a straightforward and easy-to-understand model that focuses on five core components: 

Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. These five widely understood terms, when considered together, provide a comprehensive view for managing cybersecurity risk over time. Activities under each component offer a good starting point for your business.

Here is a quick look at available technologies to address each layer of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework:

We understand that deciding how to implement and maintain a cybersecurity stack can be challenging. After researching your options, you might be asking this question: is a pre-defined cyber security stack a good fit for my business?

We created n@d@r to provide clients with a best practice 'plug-n-play' cyber stack, alleviating the frustration and support that comes with CYBERscape integration. Using frameworks like NIST and ATT&CK we navigated a path and took action on the areas that matter most.

We no longer live in a world where security can take a back seat or be put on hold. It must become a priority in all size businesses—one that you have to be willing to fight for.
