Cyber security has always been a concern, but now that so many more people are working remotely, the issues surrounding security are much more discussed – and rightly so. Monitoring tools, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have become go-to solutions that deserve consideration in your security strategy.
Embracing a New Culture
Cyber security is so prevalent today that it is developing a culture of its own. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry that has many complexities, tons of options, and seemingly no clear path to solutions that are going to be 100% useful for your unique situation. However, with a careful approach to planning, you can become more focused on what will work for you and what doesn’t.
Planning includes taking stock of your current workflow and what devices are allowed to connect to your network. Do you have current infrastructure that will need to play nice with new infrastructure that’s being brought in for security enhancements? Those are critical aspects to zeroing in on the right tech that will improve your layers of protection. Also, working with an experienced agent will ease the burden of finding the right solutions.
Educating the Workforce
Latching on to the latest cyber security solutions is never a bad idea, but you also have to make sure your employees are in the know about various ways in which cyber criminals access areas that you don’t want them in. They need to avoid clicking on links in emails, visiting suspicious websites, or using networks with which they aren’t familiar. They need to update their devices as soon as the security update is available and be accountable for every action they take while on your network.
Disaster Recovery
Planning for the worst can get you out of a difficult situation, which is why disaster recovery solutions and tools must be adopted. Whether it’s a natural disaster or cyber criminals holding your data hostage, you need to have the right disaster recovery protocols in place to quickly deal with the disruption. The longer you are without your data, the more harm it will do to your business, so talk to an agent that is familiar with the various disaster recovery solutions on the market today and inquire about which one will work best for you.
