Handling Your Cyber Security
Cyber Security commonly refers to protecting networks, programs and systems from any sort of digital/cyber attacks. While it's important to take steps to protect your IT infrastructure, cyber security is increasingly about ensuring high security awareness among your employees as well.
Cyber attacks are a regular occurrence for small businesses. If successful, they access, control and destroy your sensitive information. It’s nothing new, but it is becoming more common and more sophisticated. The stakes are also getting higher as we become more reliant on technology for our personal and professional lives.
It’s not only yourselves and cyber criminals who are interested in the security of your network. Your vulnerabilities could impact your vendors, clients, customers & your insurance. Your company’s goal should be to protect itself, its partners and its employees to the maximum extent possible against security threats that could jeopardize its integrity, privacy, reputation and business outcomes.
While you can never fully eliminate the threat, with some smart planning you can make yourself a difficult target. Doing so will drastically reduce your risk of being the victim of a cyber-attack
