Hi, welcome, In this video we will check out the Five ways to secure your business from cyber attack.
Businesses need to take steps to fight cybercrime if they are to benefit from digital transformation
For small and medium-sized businesses. Here are five additional ways that businesses can improve the security of their network in the digital age.
Number 1. #Train employees in cyber security.
Understandably most people associate cyber crime with malicious attackers. Of the 53,000 real-word cyber breaches investigated for Verizon’s 2018 Data Breach Investigations Report, 73portion control were committed by outsiders. But a quarter were perpetrated by insiders, either maliciously or in 17portion control of cases simply by human error. To tackle the problem, new employees (including contractors and third-party users) need to be made aware of any corporate security policies as part of their induction process while refresher training should also be given to existing staff to keep them up to speed on cyber security issues. Particularly concerning for employers are phishing scams, with employees inadvertently downloading malicious attachments in emails that can put malware on to a device. This gives attackers a foothold in the organisation from which they can move in search of valuable information. Many companies now send out mock phishing emails to make employees aware of any potential risk. Malware can also be transferred to a corporate system through removable media such as a memory stick or the direct connection of a smartphone via a USB port. The National Cyber Security Centre End User Device Security Guidance provides further guidance on managing the risk of malicious software on user devices.
Number 2. #Keep all devices updated. Undoubtedly one of the greatest cyber security risks for businesses is not keeping their IT networks completely updated. Indeed it was this failure that led to the WannaCry ransomware attack of May 2018, which affected organisations such as the NHS. Businesses should regularly update their computers, including desktops, laptops and mobile devices, making sure operating systems and web browsers are up to date, as well as installing firmware updates on hardware such as printers and scanners, to protect against the latest threats. If employees are using mobile devices for work, these should also be updated, including any security apps. Ignoring updates essentially leaves cracks in your defence system that can be exploited by hackers. ignoring updates can make you vulnerable to hackers.
Number 3. #Install a virtual private network. In an era where employees routinely use their own smartphone or laptop to access their work server from anywhere, installing a virtual private network can help to make a network much more secure. Like firewalls, VPNs protect computer data when employees are online by creating a safe and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet – something particularly useful for employees who use public WiFi in places such as coffee shops or airports.
Number 4. Secure business WiFi. An insecure WiFi connection can provide an easy route in for hackers to access a business network. Businesses should secure their WiFi so only employees can access it, ideally without them knowing the password. If you want open WiFi for customers to use, it is best to use a separate network. Guests should not have the same WiFi access as employees to help stop unknown people from accessing files. Finally, all internet-of-things devices that can access the network via WiFi should be secured.
Number 5. Manage user privileges. Businesses need to determine what rights and privileges users need to perform their duties, making sure higher-level system privileges are carefully controlled and managed. As well as individual logins for employees whenever possible, redundant accounts (including those of former staff members) should be removed immediately. Weak, easy-to-guess or shared passwords are a classic vulnerability. One option is to use a password manager tool to generate unique passwords and securely store your logins, so employees do not have to worry about writing them down or forgetting them. For some accounts it may be appropriate to have additional password protection, such as a code or token (known as two-factor authentication). Biometric authentication technology, such as fingerprint readers, are becoming increasingly widespread to secure devices.
