There are several measures that organizations can take to mitigate the effects of a successful cyberattack, such as regularly updating software and security protocols, training staff in phishing techniques and user awareness, establishing multiple layers of authentication for access to sensitive data, using dedicated network segmentation for critical systems and enforcing access controls to determine who has access to what systems. These measures can reduce both the damage caused by an attack and minimize any unauthorized access into protected networks or sensitive information being accessed.

Organizations should be prepared to respond quickly in the event of a cyberattack. This can include implementing incident response plans, disaster recovery solutions, securing backups of critical data and systems, installing anti-malware software and firewalls, training staff in social engineering tactics, enabling two-factor authentication for systems and services and regularly assessing threat potentials. Additionally, organizations should have an effective vulnerability management plan that includes regular penetration testing to help identify any potential weaknesses that may lead to an attack.
