Cybersecurity is a necessity for businesses and individuals alike. With data security becoming increasingly relevant in our technological era, people are concerned if their data and devices are safe.
You may have heard of Norton, McAfee, or Sophos. These companies promise personal cybersecurity solutions to individuals. However, these are all passive cybersecurity providers.
Passive cybersecurity is only a little better than no cybersecurity at all. If you experience a cyber threat, these providers fail to respond to and remediate the threat.
Enterprises do not use any “solution” remotely like these. Companies use active cybersecurity methods and providers. You should too.
What Is Cybersecurity Support?
Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected systems. This includes hardware, software, and data from physical and cyber threats. Both individuals and enterprises use cybersecurity practices to protect unauthorized access to data and personal information.
Cybersecurity support can often manifest in various ways. It depends on whether the protection is for an individual or a company.
What Does Cybersecurity Look Like In Big Companies?
Big companies establish cybersecurity governance and risk management programs. The program is dependent on the company’s size. A small business will not have the same security operations as Microsoft or Meta may have.
For example, large companies often hire teams of cybersecurity experts. A chief information security officer oversees many large companies’ cybersecurity efforts.
Many companies adopt the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework’s Five Pillars
1. Identify
Develop an organizational understanding of the cybersecurity risks that threaten your company. Your “company” includes your systems, people, assets, data, and capabilities.
2. Protect
Develop and implement safeguards to ensure the delivery of critical infrastructure services.
3. Detect
Develop and implement activities to identify the occurrence of a cybersecurity event.
4. Respond
Develop and implement activities to take action regarding a detected cybersecurity incident.
5. Recover
Develop and implement activities for resilience. Develop and implement plans to restore capabilities or services impaired due to a cyber security incident.
Cybersecurity Support Appears At Every Level Of The NIST Framework.
Cybersecurity professionals perform analyses to identify the company’s cyber risks. The analysis may include factors like the data collected and the organization’s structure and practices.
In the “Protect” pillar, cybersecurity support may aid the downloading and implementing of software like next-gen antivirus with EDR.
Cybersecurity support may oversee the detection of cyber threats and choose to respond to the cyber threat appropriately.
The “recover” pillar is often always overseen by cybersecurity support. This helps to restore cybersecurity safeguards and prevent incidents in the future.

Cyber Threats Threaten Everyone
It’s a myth that hackers only target large companies. 43% of cyber attacks targeted small businesses in 2021.
60% of small businesses that fell victim to a cyber attack did not survive and went out of business within six months.
In 2021, 212.4 million U.S. users were affected by a data breach.
