In the world we live in today, staying safe online is just as crucial as locking our doors at night. For businesses, it’s even more important to protect their information and systems from “cyber bad guys” who want to cause trouble. That’s where a cyber defense program comes in—it’s like a superhero plan to keep the bad guys out of a company’s digital space.

One of the best tools for building this superhero plan is something called CIS SecureSuite®. It’s like a treasure chest full of super tools that help businesses fight off cyber attacks. Here, we’re going to talk about seven key parts of a solid defense plan any business, no matter its size, can put in place with the help of CIS SecureSuite®.

1. **Know Your Territory**: Just like a team of superheroes needs to know where the villains are hiding, a business must understand where all its important data lives and how it’s being protected.

2. **Keep Your Armor Updated**: Imagine a superhero with an old, rusty armor—doesn’t sound very safe, right? That’s why businesses need to keep their systems up to date with the latest security software.

3. **Be Ready for Anything**: Sometimes, no matter how strong a superhero is, they get knocked down. Businesses need to plan for the worst and have a backup plan to keep things running even if an attack happens.

4. **Train Your Troops**: Every superhero needs to know how to use their powers. Similarly, staff must be trained to recognize dangers and know what to do if something seems fishy.

5. **Control Access to the Fortress**: Just like a secret base should only let in the good guys, businesses need to be strict about who has access to their important data.

6. **Defend Constantly**: Superheroes always keep a watchful eye out. In a cyber defense program, there should be tools checking for suspicious activity all the time.

7. **Repair Damages Quickly**: If a villain does manage to cause some harm, it’s important to fix things fast to get back in superhero shape as soon as possible.

Now, whether a business is just starting to put on its cyber cape or looking to beef up its existing cyber defenses, they can find a huge help in CIS SecureSuite®. This can be found at www.cisecurity.org/insights/blog/building-a-reasonable-cyber-defense-program.
