Various types of security threats are increasing in number and severity at a rapid pace, most notably cryptojacking malware that is focused on mining coins for the roughly 1,400 cryptocurrencies currently in use.
There are a number of best practices that organizations should seriously consider as they attempt to bolster their security defenses. These include conducting a thorough audit of the current security and compliance environment, establishing detailed and thorough policies, implementing best practices for users to follow, provide adequate security awareness training that is commensurate with the risk associated with each role, and deploy alternatives to employee-managed tools and services.
