Disable all blocking until you understand exactly what will be blocked.
Err on the side of caution. If your IPS has the option to block just a single packet or stream, let
it do just that. If your IPS can shun an IP address
for a period of time, be careful that you don't set it to block for too long, potentially shunning future legitimate traffic. Remember, many client IP addresses are randomly assigned.
Don't shun IP addresses based on connectionless traffic, like UDP, ICMP or TCP traffic that is not part of an existing stream. You're asking for a denial of service.
Be sure you understand what constitutes legitimate traffic, and don't accept a vendor's claim that a signature has a low false-positive rate. Your traffic is unique to your network; only you can assess what constitutes a false positive.
Test signatures that are blocking candidates for false positives.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
