While most business owners understand that protecting their employees and systems from online threats is critical for an organization, navigating through the sea of cybersecurity terms and products can be very overwhelming—especially for smaller sized businesses with limited time and IT resources. What components or areas of your business are most vulnerable to security risks? What should you look for when purchasing cybersecurity products and services? Here’s a short breakdown of critical things to look for when assessing cybersecurity protection.
According Ostra’s Cybersecurity 101 Guide for 2021, there are four key cybersecurity strategies every business should leverage to help keep you and your client data safe.
1. Prevent Email Threats
Email is one of the key mediums that cybercriminals use to commit their crimes. Ensure all your employees use a secure email service and don’t send work emails from their personal accounts. In addition, educate your employees about the importance of being vigilant while using their emails.
2. Manage Mobile Devices & Security
Eighty-five percent of people use their smartphones to access emails. That mean many of your employees likely do the same. Working with a qualified, experienced cybersecurity team is the best way to prevent mobile devices from being compromised, as they can leverage the latest mobile security solutions to keep data safe.
3. Identify and Secure All Endpoints
Map out your network endpoints and use cybersecurity solutions to protect them. There are a multitude of avenues that cybercriminals can attempt to gain access into your system. Endpoints that businesses need to keep secure include desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, servers, workstations, internet-of-things devices, etc.
4. Utilize Cloud Security Solutions
Cloud security is a solution that every business should consider. In addition to being scalable, housing all your data in the cloud can be more secure than storing it on-premise. When looking for a cloud service provider, validate that they are investing heavily in security.
