- Here’s a checklist on what to do and plan:
- Enforce MFA
- Stop with the common password issue
- Use authentication…correctly
- Protect Identities
- Get a privileged access baseline in place
- Make a list of mission-critical apps
- Update/replace out of date OSes
- Patches/Updates
- Stop recycling service accounts
- End user accounts shouldn’t be used as admin accounts
- Server admin account should not have admin rights on workstation
- Produce a clear line of leadership
- Create a risk assessment of your recourses
- Inventory resources and assessments
- Organize an incident event log
