📄 Have you downloaded the 2023 Verizon DBIR? The #CISControls Safeguards are referenced throughout! The DBIR makes a good point, "The first step is to see which controls are recommended for your level of security maturity and resources." https://t.co/76b7BZWBYy #DBIR

@spinnakersupport - Rapid7’s mid-year data shows basic security hygiene is still a challenge for many businesses. 39% of incidents stemmed from either lax or lacking multi-factor authentication.

Patching can not help for this issue.

[Tim Boles @TimBoles_DBA]

https://t.co/Xj257OF4K6 great article by the CTO @SpinnakerSupprt

[Tim Boles @TimBoles_DBA]

@spinnakersupport we know patching is not security. Everyone should be following the basics as @ChandlerDBA advocates https://t.co/cOjEWMfkAL

[Tim Boles @TimBoles_DBA]

@InfosecurityMag @QuantumCorp @SpinnakerSupprt we advocate to all our clients a defense in depth approach. It is good to see others pushing for similar strategies. Patching is not an all encompassing solution there are better approaches.
