Although this might be a tedious process especially for legacy systems, doing so is necessary to thwart threats before they get in and do serious damage. If patching is not an option, organizations can also avail of virtual patching technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations can also implement micro-segmentation to enhance security by restricting network access and communications to the necessary devices and protocols. Adhering to the principle of least privilege, where employees are only given the exact level of access they need and nothing more, would also help curb the possible spread of threats.<\/p>\n<p>Security solutions can also help. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/business\/products\/iot\/industrial-endpoint-security\/txone-stellar-protect.html\">TXOne StellarProtect<sup>TM<\/sup><\/a> is an application control security software that only allows known benign executables and processes to execute in an endpoint.
