Question

How can an organization improve a low Cubit factor score?

Answer

The Cubit factor score is proprietary module measuring a variety of security issues that a company might have. For example, we check public Threat Intelligence databases for IP addresses that have been flagged, we also check Remote Access Services exposed that are susceptible to be leveraged during ransomware attacks. These misconfigurations may have high exploitability and could cause significant harm to the privacy of your data and infrastructure.

As such, it is possible to improve the Cubit factor score of the company by following general security best practices:

• Enforce strong authentication methods, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), to verify user identities before granting remote access.
• Implement encryption protocols, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure data transmitted over remote access connections.
• Use virtual private networks (VPNs) to establish secure and encrypted connections for remote access sessions, especially when accessing sensitive data or systems over untrusted networks.
• Implement robust access controls and limit remote access privileges only to authorized users and resources necessary for their roles.
• Regularly update and patch remote access solutions and software to address known vulnerabilities and enhance security posture.
• Monitor remote access activities closely through logging and auditing mechanisms to detect and promptly respond to suspicious or unauthorized access attempts.

Once all the security best practices mentioned above have been applied, the Cubit Score related findings can be submitted for remediation using the following step-by-step guide: Address issue Findings.
