expensive. And, if you are a small business this can be even more challenging.
But there are some very basic things that can be done with minimal resources
and dollars to help ensure your company’s overall network security.
Let’s talk about just a few.
- Insider
Threats – these are most often associated with internal malicious users, but in
truth, employees are inadvertently leaking corporate data daily due to a lack
of training.
- System
updates/patches – keeping network and computer systems up-to-date is imperative
in patching vulnerabilities that hackers know to exploit.
- Incident
Response planning/strategy – If, or when, an exploitation is detected, your
response time to mitigate the exploitation will be paramount. Any delay in
incident response can result in a significant loss of confidential information,
revenue and customer confidence
