Although we are only a few days away from the end of the 2018 edition of CyberSecMonth, there is still time to learn and share our best practices on digital security. This is our ambition with our new infographics on the maintenance of the information system. This CyberTip is particularly close to our hearts. Indeed, we have developed a solution that perfectly meets the challenges of computer maintenance. We’ll tell you more just below!<\/p>\n

In today’s digital age, digital transformation continues to grow in importance as information systems and software are constantly evolving and therefore frequently updated. The main reasons for these updates are the addition of new features or the introduction of patches. However, all these changes can introduce some “instability” to the software. It’s therefore not surprising that security vulnerabilities<\/strong> are regularly discovered<\/strong> in them.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”40px||0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.tranquil.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/cybersecmonth_infographie_8_HD.jpg” alt=”Infographie %22Maintenir le syst\u00e8me d'information \u00e0 jour%22″ title_text=”Infographie %22Maintenir le syst\u00e8me d'information \u00e0 jour%22″ align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”40px|0px|1px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For cyber attackers, these security vulnerabilities present excellent opportunities to infiltrate the information system<\/strong>. Their goals include accessing sensitive data<\/strong> or contaminating the network<\/strong>. It’s impossible to prevent software from evolving, so the only viable option is to mitigate the risks associated with frequent updates to the solutions used within an organization.<\/p>\n The only way to mitigate this risk is to stay informed about newly discovered vulnerabilities<\/strong> and act promptly. The CERT-FR<\/a> (Computer Emergency Response Team) is the French governmental center for monitoring, alerting, and responding to computer attacks. It conducts technological monitoring and communicates the state-of-the-art in systems and software. This organization keeps you informed about various discovered security flaws<\/strong>. Subsequently, it’s crucial to apply security patches<\/strong> across all components of the information system<\/strong> within a maximum of one month after the publisher’s release. It’s also advisable to define an update policy specifying:<\/p>\n Obsolete components<\/strong> no longer supported by manufacturers should be isolated from the rest of the system<\/strong>. This measure also applies to the network (strict flow filtering) as well as authentication secrets (dedicated to these systems).<\/p>\n Using outdated software or systems<\/strong> poses an additional risk of cyber attack<\/strong>. Once patches are no longer provided for a system, it becomes vulnerable. Many malicious tools on the web exploit this lack of security updates<\/strong> from the publisher. However, there are precautions to avoid obsolescence of these systems:<\/p>\n SUMo<\/a> (Software Update Monitor) is a user-friendly tool that’s very useful. It automatically detects new versions of installed software<\/strong> through hard disk analysis. The software is free and available in French. During analysis, if SUMo discovers a new version of software, the console displays the currently installed version on the workstation and the new version. A link to download the new version is also provided. There’s also a paid version that allows downloading updates directly from developer sites.<\/p>\n WAPT is our open-source software deployment<\/strong> solution for Windows. WAPT simplifies IT fleet management<\/strong> by centralizing administrative actions in a single console. It enables you to quickly create, test, install, update, and uninstall software packages<\/strong> or configurations across your entire fleet. Information is updated directly in the console, providing real-time progress updates on fleet actions. You can also schedule remote software deployments<\/strong> to avoid disrupting users. The software’s simplicity enhances responsiveness and facilitates rapid security vulnerability fixes. You can keep your information system up to date with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n Regarding software package deployment<\/a>, you have three options. First, you can securely download packages<\/strong> from our store<\/a> (with over 1000 available packages). Alternatively, you can create your own packages<\/strong> via the WAPT console. We use the package wizard<\/strong> and PyScripter environment<\/strong> to simplify package creation. If this seems complex, you can ask us to develop packages for you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”40px||0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.16″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px” global_colors_info=”{}”]How to Limit the Risks of Information System Infection?<\/h3>\n
