Hi

First full disclosure. I work for the company CSIS that makes Heimdal, so
there.

As for patch management you could look at Heimdal (
https://www.heimdalagent.com/en/home). The concept behind that is to patch
the most attacked apps on windows automatically.

Adrian,

I recently submitted a SANS GCIA Gold paper on implementing the SANS Top 20
Security Controls in a small business. I was inspired by the success of the
US Department of State. My method was to lean into existing security and
admin tools and not spend any extra money. I believe it turned out nicely. I
am about half way through a series of blog posts on this work at
www.securityeverafter.com.

Hope it helps,
Russell Eubanks

A little while back Joe Hollingsworth and I were interviewed for an article
in the Southern Indiana Business Source. The local Kiwanis club asked for a
25 min talk on the subject of the article, so we came up with this mandate:
Given only 25 minutes, tell us what a small business could do to help their
security posture. Well, it ended up being almost 40min and we did not get
through all of the slides. The live video camera failed, so the audio in
this video is what the laptop recorded.

I'd like some suggestions in case we do the talk again. I think I'd like to
expand on:

1. Who to use as a backup provider, or good recommendations for doing it
yourself.
2. 3rd party patch management solution recommendations.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Adrian
