Do you know which vendors can log into your systems?
List them this week: vendor, what they reach, who approved it. Remove anyone who no longer needs it.
#VendorRisk #Cover6Solutions
Domain admins signing in to everyday laptops leave reusable credentials behind, often the shortest path to the domain. Fix: admin accounts sign in only to admin systems.

ALT Light Cover6 card: Admins stay on admin systems. Advanced Pentest.
Got a "shared document" link from someone you don't know? Don't open it from the email.
Message the sender on a channel you already use and ask. Thirty seconds beats a stolen login.
#Phishing #Cover6Solutions
Monday starts with a new invoice from a vendor you don't recognize?
Don't pay from the email. Look the vendor up yourself, and call a number you already had.
#FraudPrevention #Cover6Solutions
POA&M full of items that never close? Each one needs four things: the weakness, the fix, a date and an owner. Without an owner, it's a wish list.

Someone left the company last month. Do they still have access?
Check shared drives, email forwarding rules and SaaS logins. Offboarding is a checklist, not a memory.

Nobody owns software updates at your company? Then they don't happen.
Pick one owner and one day a month. Start with the operating system, the browser and the VPN client, because attackers go after those first.
#PatchManagement #Cover6Solutions
Happy Halloween. Use a password manager.
#Halloween #Cybersecurity
ALT Cover6 Solutions Halloween card: The scariest thing on your network? An admin password reused somewhere else.
Same local admin password on every workstation? Crack one and you're in all of them. Fix: a unique, rotated password per machine (LAPS).

Cybersecurity Awareness Month ends today. Three habits worth keeping all year.
#NCSAM
ALT Cover6 Solutions month wrap-up card: Three habits to keep after October. MFA everywhere. Test a restore. Call before you pay.
Recovery plans fail at one step: nobody tested the restore.
Restore one critical system to a spare machine and time it. That's your real recovery time.

#vCISO #Cover6Solutions
A vendor asks for "temporary" admin access to your systems?
Scope it, put an end date on it, log what they do, and remove it the day they finish. Temporary access that never ends is how a vendor becomes your biggest exposure.

Unsure which control baseline you need? Categorize first: rate confidentiality, integrity and availability low, moderate or high. The highest sets the baseline.

Threat hunting starts with a question, not a tool.
#ThreatHunting #SOC
ALT Cover6 Solutions card: Threat hunting starts with a question. If someone were already inside, where would I see it?
Could you restore your files if ransomware hit tonight?
A backup you've never restored is a guess. This week, pick one important folder, restore it, and time it. That number is your real recovery time.
