A SANS Institute webcast about Russian cyberattack escalations in Ukraine presented a couple of takeaways. The first: Don’t panic. Too often with security issues we think the worse; we may overreact and make the situation worse. Instead, focus on the basics. The second is that we need to pay more attention to network traffic.
Take care of security basics first
When reviewing your network for potential cyber threats, don’t make things worse by making misconfigurations that will create more problems. Spend time on the basics and on other projects that you probably should have worked on earlier.
