2018-06-29 08:50:00 | BrandPost: 3 Musts for VPN Multi-Factor Authentication (lien direct) | Remember the good old days, when the only people who needed access to your virtual private network (VPN) were full-time, on-site employees using company-issued devices? Today, the people who need VPN access are as likely to be contractors as employees, and as likely to be logging in from a personal device as an office laptop. VPN access makes it easier for them to connect to the resources they need, improving your organization's ability to work collaboratively and productively. But it can also increase your identity risk.Think about it: How do you know that the third party who's trying to access resources is really who they claim to be? Or that they haven't shared their credentials with someone else in their organization who isn't entitled to access? Just because someone has a legitimate username/password to access the VPN doesn't mean they're the legitimate owner of those credentials. According to the 2017 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 81 percent of hacking-related data breaches involve weak or stolen passwords. | Data Breach | ||

2018-06-25 13:00:00 | Safety Measures for Protecting Your Business from Cyber Attacks (lien direct) |
All sizes of businesses are now targets for cyber criminals. Per the Verizon 2018 DBIR, 58% of data breach victims are small businesses. Furthermore, it is shocking to see that 60% of small businesses are shut down within 6 months of an attack, according to the National Cyber Security Alliance. So, what makes these small enterprises prone to cyber-attacks? Probably it is the lack of resources due to limited budget and the misbelief that only large organizations are attacked by hackers.
However, all size businesses need to stay ahead of cyber attackers. I have come up with some useful preventive measures to protect your business from cyber-attacks. Take a look:
Train Your Staff
Your employees are your biggest asset, but at the same time, they are the biggest security risk as well. So, your primary action should be to give security awareness education to your staff. This will help in minimizing cases of accidental or intentional data leakage. One important point to keep in mind is that providing training to your staff is not a one-time task. Rather, it should be done periodically to ensure that your employees are kept up to date with the latest cyber threats. It helps them act cautiously against security vulnerabilities and threats.
Manage your Passwords
Your passwords are the key to your company’s confidential information. It is crucial to follow some basic thumb rules when creating and managing passwords for your company.
Always change default passwords to unique passwords
Do not use the same password for different accounts
Make sure you store your passwords safely. Use a password manager. Never write your passwords on paper accessible to others.
Follow the guidelines for making a strong password. Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols, etc.
Keep your tech in good shape
The OS and apps on company systems should be up-to-date, as that ensures installation of latest security patches. Further, firewall and antivirus need to be installed on each and every system. Ensure that both are active, up-to-date and installed with the right settings. Microsoft operating systems come with a default firewall, so you just need to activate it. However, it is strongly recommended to invest in a reliable and advanced antivirus software for PCs. After all, buying an antivirus is much cheaper than becoming a cyber-attack victim.
Keep backups to limit the loss
With the rising number of ransomware attacks, the importance of having data backup has come into the picture. It is better to keep a copy of your data rather than taking the risk of paying ransom to hackers. A company can get back running normally after an attack if data backup is available. Make sure you run periodic backups of your company’s data as it helps in restoring from a recent point. Backups should always be kept on a separate system.
Get your Coding tested
Your website code and hosting is an important aspect for the security of your company. Get your website fully tested for security errors by your internal Information Security team or hire one. Improper or outdated code can help hackers make way into your website and ultimately cause harm. Further, make sure the hosting facility for your website is from a reliable hosting company. Don’t forget to |
