The countermeasures to deal with future malware incidents involve a multi-layered approach that includes:
Complying with the company's security policies: Ensuring that all security policies are followed can prevent malware incidents by maintaining a secure network environment. Implementing strong authentication schemes: Strong authentication can prevent unauthorized access, reducing the risk of malware being introduced by attackers. Implementing a strong password policy:
Robust password policies can deter attackers by making it more difficult to gain access through brute force or other password-related attacks. Install antivirus software: Antivirus software is essential for detecting, preventing, and removing malware from the network.
These measures align with the Certified Network Defender (CND) program's emphasis on a defense-in-depth strategy, which includes protecting endpoints, data, and networks, as well as continuous threat monitoring and response.
