      <p><em data-renderer-mark="true">Nearly 160 participants and 5 hours of hands-on knowledge - that’s the outcome of our brand-new event that we held for Bulgarian private and public sectors. On top of that, we are happy to find out that in our after-event survey, 96% of you said that you were very satisfied with the quality of the presentations. For those of you who couldn’t make it this time, we have prepared a short recap of our event.</em></p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="470">CyberSec Day is an event for IT management and cybersecurity which was held by Axence in October as a part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month celebrations. Our goal was to share the best practices on IT security, compliance, and business continuity, tap into the expertise of IT management leaders and learn the latest tactics and methods of protection to secure the IT environment. We wanted to assist our audience in discovering solutions and services that support the successful and secure management of IT networks and stay tuned with the current trends.&nbsp;</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="1029">We grouped talks by theme modules so that each of them covered different aspects of IT management and cybersecurity. In each module, we gathered a great speaker lineup - cybersecurity officers, industry experts, government representatives, and leaders from all sorts of businesses of key industries. Our guests could tap into the expertise of Jenny Boneva, Svetlin Iliev, Pavel Georgiev, Jasen Tanev, Miglen Evlogiev, Vladimir Dimitrov, to name a few.</p>

<p data-renderer-start-pos="1029">The event started with the&nbsp;<strong data-renderer-mark="true">Opening Speech</strong>&nbsp;delivered by Miglen Evlogiev - the founder of the Bulgarian Cybersecurity Foundation. According to the expert, most data breaches are the result of phishing. One of the innovations in phishing in the last two or three years is a browser-in-the-browser attack in which JavaScript is used to pop up a window that looks exactly like the login screen with a username and password on a legitimate popular website. He also pointed out that phishing campaign simulations are the best way to train employees.</p>

<p data-renderer-start-pos="1029">The Opening Speech was followed by the&nbsp;<strong data-renderer-mark="true">Discussion Panel</strong>, moderated by Svetlin Iliev from Bulgarian Cybersecurity Association. The experts discussed the current state of IT security, products, legislation, certification schemes, etc. Pavel Georgiev who is the Founder of Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria - an initiative that is holding monthly cybersecurity-themed events and it is building a community of professionals, hacktivists, tech enthusiasts, government representatives, and many more, stated that the advantage of communities is that people belong to a community because they want to.</p>

<p data-renderer-start-pos="2795">The only female expert in the Discussion, Jenny Boneva shared a few very interesting takeaways. She claimed that establishing cybersecurity frameworks is the key part of establishing protection for organizations. She also pointed out that organizations are well-aware about the cybersecurity standards and best practices, however, customizing them is now the most challenging part. The reason for that is that information security is sometimes against the performance so it is important to balance those two functions.</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="3315">The experience shared by Vladimir Dimitrov, representing the Bulgarian Cybercrime Unit, particularly caught the attention of the participants of the event. He mentioned some real-life cases from his everyday work and how he and his coworkers are dealing with cyber crimes.</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="3589">Jasen Tanev, on the other hand, was supporting the view that building cyber awareness early on is key for ensuring cybersecurity. In this respect, universities play an important role.</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="3774"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">IT Management and Security Module</strong>&nbsp;was inaugurated by Marcin Matuszewski, Senior IT Engineer at Axence. He strongly encouraged organizations to create their cybersecurity checklist. Since, it is yet difficult for businesses to completely anticipate and eliminate imminent cyber threats, having a solid cybersecurity checklist might come in handy to strengthen IT networks. This list should include such areas as critical infrastructure monitoring, asset inventory, user monitoring, etc.</p>

<p data-renderer-start-pos="4333">The expert particularly pointed out how significant it is to optimize communication with the IT department to handle problems faster and more effectively.</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="4489">The highlight of Marcin’s presentation was the demonstration of the malware attack which sparked curiosity among the audience.</p>
<p data-renderer-start-pos="4617">That was the theory - but how does integrated IT management and security look in practice? The answer to this question was provided by representatives from Euroins. They talked about their challenges and shared their experience of implementing the nVision solution and how the new system has eased their tasks.</p>

CyberSec Day - an event recap

<img src="files/news/2023-02/MicrosoftTeams-image.png" style="display: none;">
      <h2>Here's all you need to know</h2>
  
      <div class="ce_text block">
      <p><em>From servers and routers, through computers and printers, to the smallest devices, and even documents and licenses - the world of IT assets is immense and includes crucial elements of any organization. Therefore, handling an IT asset inventory oftentimes appears to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive activity. In this walk-through, we will show you what you should pay attention to when selecting an asset inventory management system so that it is the one with the features your business will really value.</em></p>
<h2>What is IT Asset Management?</h2>
<p>When talking about IT assets, it is important to understand what ITAM is. It stands for IT Asset Management and it is about far more than just creating an asset inventory. It is the lifeblood that helps provide better security for your business in general.</p>
<p>From the network security perspective, you can’t protect what you are not even aware that you have. It increases the risk of not knowing what is in fact connected to your network, thus, making it exposed to vulnerabilities. Therefore, being able to track and audit your inventory is the principal requirement for the majority of security standards.</p>
<p>Whether it is an outdated system or software, devices used outside the company, or some removable media, you can easily identify them all with an ITAM tool.</p>
<h2>What are the benefits of ITAM?</h2>
<p>Here are some benefits of ITAM:</p>
<ol>
<li>You can keep all your asset information in one place.</li>
<li>You have more detailed information on every asset and can easily track down their location.</li>
<li>You can keep your assets organized and thus, easily report on them.</li>
<li>You can track asset performance - have detailed asset logs and maintenance history.</li>
<li>You can minimize the chance of unexpected breakdowns.</li>
<li>You can track the asset through its lifecycle so that you know when to plan for upgrades or disposal.</li>
<li>You can optimize your procurement process and plan your purchases better.</li>
<li>You reduce potential risks.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Best Practices for ITAM</h2>
<p>You probably don't need to convince anyone that implementing ITAM is beneficial for the organization. However, to do that right, you need to keep a few principles top of mind:</p>
<ol>
<li>ITAM is a continuous process, not something that you do once and for all. You need to constantly update and monitor your IT assets.</li>
<li>Any new device within your organization should be immediately added to your IT Asset Inventory and have monitoring software installed onto it so that you can actively monitor it, making sure everything runs smoothly.</li>
<li>Use automation in the ITAM processes whenever possible - schedule periodic scans, set up alerts, etc.</li>
<li>Continuously track all your IT assets. It will give you greater control over your network.</li>
<li>Prioritize your IT assets in order of importance - it will enable you to make quicker maintenance decisions and support business uptime.</li>
<li>Introduce a lifecycle management approach to get the most of your IT assets for their entire lifespan. It will help you identify how long an asset will work and when it should be disposed of.</li>
</ol>
<h2>How to implement ITAM in your organization?</h2>
<p>With many Asset Inventory Management Software out there on the market, you should go for one that offers the features that meet your organization's specific requirements:</p>
<ol>
<li>It should be easily configurable and customizable so that you can adjust preferences, generate documents, and above all, suits the policies of your company.</li>
<li>It should be mobile compatible so that you can access it whenever you need it.</li>
<li>It would be great if it offers a great deal of flexibility and it is intuitive to use.</li>
<li>You can follow your company’s policies and processes with it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Now, you can have it all with Axence nVsion® that comes in with its brand-new Mobile Inventory Assistant. It is a mobile application that will enable you to manage your organization's assets without limits! You no longer need to start your work computer and log in to the console – you can use your smartphone instead. Check it out and download the Inventory Assistant for Android!</p>    </div>

      <h2>Employee monitoring as a means for data security</h2>
  
      <div class="ce_text block">
      <p>In a time of computer revolution, more and more business processes and operational activities are based on IT systems. Only last year approx. 32% of respondents in the poll conducted by B2B International and Kaspersky Lab had had to tackle a data leak resulting from employee negligence. Purposeful incidents were observed by as many as 18% of companies. That is why it is critical to have solutions guaranteeing a full protection. It can be offered not only by antivirus software, but also by programs for <a title="User activity monitoring" href="?page_id=8792">monitoring employee</a> activity on computers. Special software allows the monitoring of computer traffic, unauthorized actions, the connection of portable disks and the legality of the installed software. It will secure not only the IT resources, but also the reputation of the company, employees’ intellectual property and customer privacy. Most employers see monitoring as a method to improve productiveness. On the other hand, employees fear control and consider it as a method of invigilation. That is why monitoring software is commonly called the software for spying on employees. However, is invigilation really the point of it all? Thorough control of employees’ actions and improvement of the usage index of their equipment does not always give better results, attain goals and the success of the company. Sometimes relationships, mutual trust, the atmosphere or creativeness get hurt in the process. Everything depends on how the employees are informed about the issues related to the monitoring of devices they are using. Employee monitoring software can help to improve work productiveness, but will never replace effective goal-oriented management, not the time which the employees are to spend actively using a machine. From the perspective of IT departments, employee productiveness is not so important – for people responsible for telecommunications and IT infrastructure in the company, the most important aspect of such monitoring is <a title="IT security" href="?page_id=7451">IT security</a> and the opportunity to limit those – often inadvertent – employees’ actions, which might harm it. [divider] [/divider] <em>“While implementing employee monitoring in an organization, you must remember that control itself is not enough. This is not about retroactively learning what happened in the past, analyzing it and taking actions. Primarily, we want to prevent threats: to be proactive, not to repair damage. Thus, let’s take care about the proper training of employees in the scope of the rules and principles of company security policy, data protection, IT bylaws, etc. Let’s provide them with constant access to documents containing the above provisions. Let’s respond to their questions, clarify doubts and give advice on how to meet the provisions of security regulations in day-to-day work. Without such preparation, the monitoring itself simply has no sense,”</em> explains Grzegorz Oleksy, director of Axence, a company offering nVision software for corporate network security monitoring. [divider] [/divider] Experiments carried out within companies show that even informing the employees that they would be monitored is very mobilizing – work breaks are shorter, the number of printouts is reduced, fewer people use social media portals and deal with private affairs while at work. Only in a justified case, e.g. when an incident is suspected, which threatens the company security or its reputation, is making a detailed analysis of the monitoring data or even resort to cyclical screenshots worthwhile – in an extreme situation it will allow for the effective collection of electronic evidence. Companies are collecting more and more data, and at the same time the equipment processing these data is growing more diversified. Guaranteeing the security of confidential information in such a variable and demanding environment is one of the key challenges of contemporary legislation. As average users of the digital world, we are not always aware of its threats, and therefore education in this scope seems to be necessary. Education in legal matters also seems to be needed, especially with regard to sensitive, confidential data, as their secure processing constitutes not only a special challenge, but also an obligation. [divider] [/divider] <em>“Unfortunately, many companies still believe that investing in an advanced technological solution is a guarantee of sufficient security. However, the fact that the security policy should involve technical measures, full information about procedures and physical security should not be forgotten. Risks for data stored in the IT system are related to threats coming from various sources – these can be conscious or fully unintentional user errors as well as cyber-attacks. If intruders get unauthorized access to the system, they can interfere with services, interrupt system operation, and also change, delete or simply steal valuable information,”</em> says Grzegorz Oleksy. [divider] [/divider] Companies are beginning to understand that they are facing a multitude of serious threats, such as sniffing, spoofing, anonymizing proxy, connection tunneling and redirecting, tabnabbing, clickjacking, DoS, DDoS, SQL Injection, ARP Cache Poisoning and or Password Guess. These threats may lead to the violation of the rules of conduct or – even worse – to a crime. An equally unpleasant consequence is the loss of reliability, which goes hand in hand with the loss of customers and financial losses. Contrary to the common stereotype about the threats posed by a hacking attack, much bigger losses are related to internal negligence within companies and the so-called human factor. Last year’s report by Fortinet indicated that the number of people willing to break the corporate rules of use of own devices in the workplace grew by 42% in comparison to the 2012 survey. In view of increased employee mobility and the more and more popular trend to work on private devices, companies should be paying much more attention to the application of protection measures in the scope of infrastructure, also the technological one, as the interruption of business continuity may even result in the loss of customers and market position. [divider] [/divider] <em>“You must be aware that even seemingly petty matters may have unexpectedly dire consequences. One wrong move, incorrectly saved files, a lost portable disk full of data may have a tremendous impact. According to article 51 of the act on the protection of personal data, data administrators, who provide access to data to an unauthorized person or make it possible to access such data are subject to fines, restriction of liberty or imprisonment of up to two years. Therefore consequences – even of an unintentional action – might be enormous. That is why it is both important to monitor what is happening with the data and to train the employees as well,”</em> adds Oleksy. [divider] [/divider] It is the responsibility of each company not only to take care of the security of IT system infrastructure, which is the duty of IT departments, but also to develop and implement procedures related to information security policy, which governs the manner of management, protection and distribution of information containing personal data. Another grave aspect related to security is the issue of reputation. As indicated in 2013 in Deloitte survey, as much as 70% of representatives of small companies does not believe or is not aware that the violation of data security would have financial consequences or would have a negative impact on the credibility of their business. For companies, protection against critical situations brings many obvious benefits, such as more efficient operation or the elimination of additional costs related to data loss. Application of the monitoring software not only protects the company against unpleasant consequences, but also constitutes a guarantee for the customers that their <a title="Data security" href="?page_id=8794">data are protected</a> in many ways. This can be one of the company’s distinguishing features in the market and can improve its competitive edge. It is only important that the scope and method of control are adequate to the objective assumed by the employer. The objective must also be rationally explicable. Therefore, the employer can only apply such measures, which improve the productiveness of its employees or guarantee the safety of corporate data and do not aim to collect the private data of the employees, watch them at all times, or to harass them as a consequence.</p>    </div>
