In today’s highly cutting-edge technology ecosystem, change is the new normal. However, with constant change and agility come the twin threat of nefarious actors and the need for constant updates.
If the right safeguards are in place, any threat to a business can minimize, if not completely eliminate, damage from a threat. Hence, investing in these right methods is critical to ensure the security of business data, as well as from a business continuity perspective.
GRhombustech, among the leading cyber security companies in US, share our experience on what methods can be used to ensure the security of business data.
1) Be Firm on Strategy
A well-defined and implemented IT security strategy is a must, no matter what the company’s size is. The planning must be detailed and documented. Further, it should look at and consider all possible scenarios from a neutral perspective and not just something that strikes the mind or is easy to implement. The help of external consultants can also be taken up for this.
This plan and document must also be implemented and reviewed periodically. It is only then that business data will always be secure.
2) Educate Users
Educating users is extremely important to ensure the security of business data. Often, users can inadvertently click on nefarious links or be misled in some areas. Hence, educating users and keeping the flame of security consciousness alive with regular refresher training and fun exercises is the best way to ensure an alert mindset.
3) Consider BYOD and Have a Plan
The COVID pandemic has shown how critical it is for businesses to stay nimble and agile, and for this, remote working is a significant contributor. Develop a specific plan for BYOD devices and provide the necessary protection as well as precautions from a network security perspective.
4) Invest in the Right Tools
With different tools available in the market, an informed choice will need to be made on what best fits your needs. Do your analysis but invest and ensure that you have the right level of security according to your organizational needs and customer expectations.
5) Setup Automatic Updates
Investing in the right tools alone will not help. It is also vital to set up automatic updates of these tools. It is the only way to ensure that you stay updated and avoid any vulnerabilities from older versions from being exploited.
6) Password Policy
Set a strong password policy across the organization and also ensure that any admin and network passwords are stored securely. The more complex a password is, the more difficult it gets for nefarious elements to attack. Using a reliable password manager to store passwords at an organizational level is also a good idea.
7) Secure Wireless Networks
Wireless networks enhance convenience but can also pose a security vulnerability. Encryption of wireless networks is vital for data security. Use of VPNs, configuring the networking software and hardware properly, and also designing and implementing a solution with paramount importance for security will be the first steps.
