We’ve all heard of the Equifax data breach. We’ve also heard about the WannaCry and other
viruses that infect all of your files and cripples your computers. It’s all over the news, and it seems like not
a day goes by when someone doesn’t get hacked.
On the other hand you might be receiving confusing emails
from your credit card company telling you that you failed their PCI compliance
scan. Just fill out our 50 page
questionnaire and fix these 20 security issues we found on your network and you
should be all set, at least until we repeat this process 90 days from now.
These are all related to computer and network security, and
you might be asking yourself what you really need to do to protect
yourself.
That’s a great question, and something we should all be
proactive about. What’s it going to cost
if you if your computers become infected and go down or you lose your
data? What’s your liability if someone
breaks in and steals your customer’s personal information?
The biggest mistakes we see in terms of network security
are:
- Security is only an afterthought.
- Not being proactive (no continuity plan to keep things up to date with security patches)
- Inadequate backups
- Inadequate user training
Protect yourself.
