Securing Your Data from Prying Eyes: A Comprehensive Guide to Mitigating Visual Hacking Risks with Privacy Screens

With care for all our stakeholders, we continue to advance in the field of cybersecurity. We would like to extend our gratitude to The Information Security Forum (ISF) for their educational efforts, particularly for their insightful event on Building an Effective Security Strategy for the Threats of Today and Tomorrow.

The main idea conveyed is that businesses need to shift from implementing isolated solutions to embracing a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. In today's landscape of sophisticated cyber threats, building a robust and adaptable security strategy is essential.

Key Recommendations:

• Bridge the gap between legacy and modern security technologies.
• Leverage artificial intelligence to stay ahead of threats.
• Engage in threat hunting, a proactive cybersecurity practice where analysts use their expertise to search for, identify, and eradicate advanced threats that evade existing security measures.
• Respond swiftly and effectively to security incidents.
• Invest in the recruitment and training of top security talent.
• Stay updated with the latest technological advancements for comprehensive protection.
• Do not neglect information risk introduced via the supply chain. Recognize that 1 in 5 cyber intrusions originate from supply chain security incidents, making supplier risk recognition crucial for better cybersecurity.

Additionally, when working on comprehensive high-tech system protection, do not forget about basic physical threats. Visual hacking, or shoulder surfing, should be considered during risk assessments.

• Include visual hacking in your risk assessment.
• Ensure compliance to effectively communicate risk to the board and future-proof your organization.
• Quantify the risks of data loss incidents due to visual hacking.
• Compare the investment required with potential financial losses.
• Prepare for incidents.
