Protecting your business from data leaks and fines due to data breaches should be at the top of your ‘Good Business Practices’ list of things to do.
Does your company demonstrate to your customers and partners that you take yours and their cyber security seriously?
Read on to learn more about 5 Cyber Essential Controls and how to keep your business safe.
1) Firewalls
These ensure the safety of not only your networks but also devices and your employees, which is crucial for keeping your company secure and compliant. Firewalls prevent unauthorised access by determining who has permission to access private networks and allowing you to control where your users go. More than antivirus software, Firewalls safeguard against attacks and external threats from gaining access to your systems.
2) Secure Configuration
This is a key figure for any business. Both web server and application server configurations play vital roles in your company’s cyber security. By managing your computer and network devices with the proper configurations of your servers, will in turn prevent and help avoid security problems and any unauthorised actions or threats being carried out.
3) User Access Control
When you don’t implement an effective user access control management system, you put your business at risk. Prevent insalubrious individuals and groups from gaining open access to your sensitive data, by keeping all of your business information and data services to a minimum. Users with higher risk permissions should be authorised employees only and managed effectively. Having too many users with privileged admin rights can create opportunities for any criminal hacker to gain access.
4) Malware Protection
Malicious software gains access to your system and begins to steal confidential data, corrupting files and documents causing you to lose access to your sensitive information, resulting in irreparable damage. It is essential that you protect your business and prevent loss or damage with malware protection.
5) Security Update Management
Stay up to date with the latest software and applications for all your network devices, preventing security threats and cyber attacks. A business can find itself vulnerable to exploitation by criminal hackers without proper security update management.
