Yes, the simple ones that are known for decades:
- Minimum-privilege networks (access is blocked by default, permitted to
known and required traffic)
- Hardened systems (only needed components are left on the servers)
- Properly coded applications
- Trained personnel
I would just add, as has been mentioned by others (but bears repeating):
- A commitment by management
There are no shortcuts.
Agreed
