New Hub for Lean IT Security Teams

One of the harsh realities of cybersecurity today is that
malicious actors and attackers don’t distinguish between
organizations that have seemingly endless resources and those
operating with lean IT security teams. For these lean teams,
meeting the challenges in the current security landscape requires
constant attention, and sometimes a little support.

XDR provider Cynet has built a new minisite (find it
here^[1]) with the goal of giving
these lean IT Security teams a space to find answers, share their
wins and strategies, gain new insights, and have some fun in the
process. The company refers to these lean teams and the people that
make them up as Lean IT Security Heroes.

These groups often work with fewer resources, but are always
able to defend against massive threats through creativity,
ingenuity, and hard work. This new Lean IT Security Heroes minisite
offers a variety of activities and tools that are ideal for lean
teams looking to enhance their defenses.

Additionally, the site features a fun competition for both
individuals and security teams.

Play “Cyber Invaders” and win an arcade
machine

The hub features an online video game competition playing Cyber
Invaders – a game made especially for the occasion. Individuals or
whole security teams can compete for a chance to win the top
prize.

In both cases – whether playing Cyber Invaders alone or with a
team – the winner will get their very own arcade machine with a
copy of the game to play whenever they want. Both competitions will
also feature prizes for other top scorers, including customized
bobbleheads. The challenge runs from November 30th to December 21st
and is open for any lean IT security team or security professional.
The contest will be a main draw, but it’s far from the only
valuable asset on the hub.

Free Guides for lean IT Security teams

Visitors will also have access to a free resource center that
includes guides for lean IT security teams on a variety of topics,
including managing SaaS security, improving time to response during
crises, and centralizing their log management to gain greater
visibility and threat insights.

The section will also include webinars and other relevant
resources to help lean IT security teams. Topics include how
organizations can improve their SaaS security, reduce their teams’
stress without sacrificing security, and how to optimize their time
to response when it comes to incidents.

Share tips for lean IT Security teams and get a
t-shirt

Additionally, users can share their own knowledge and
experiences by providing advice to their fellow security
professionals on the community board. The top tips and strategies
are visible for all, and users can see what others are saying about
common (and uncommon) issues facing lean security organizations
today.

To participate, users simply have to fill out a short survey.
Anyone who completes the survey gets a free Cyber Hero t-shirt
delivered to their door, and a lucky few can get more.

Take a Cynet demo and get a bobblehead of
yourself

Security professionals who get on a personalized Cynet demo, to
learn how Cynet supercharges lean IT Security teams get a
customized bobblehead of themselves to display at home or in their
office.

You can visit the new site now and sign up for the game, get
insights, or explore the growing library of free resources for lean
IT security teams. See the new hub
