Companies are battling to keep their vital business data safe, with an ever increasing influx of information. With that, they put themselves at greater risk for a breach by not adhering to the best practices that guard them against imminent modern day threats like ransomware, and even internal threats.These six steps will help\u00a0you to get serious about data protection.<\/p>\n

Keep a Copy Off-Site<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unless your PC functions as nothing but for your netflix binging purposes, loss of data or a tier 5 catastrophic melt down due to a spilled beer all over your keyboard (def not speaking from experience here), will have an impact far beyond the cost of a replacement. \u00a0Maintaining an offsite backup copy will ensure you don’t lose access to the data files you really need to keep. A little effort now can save a huge headache later.\u00a0A hosted online backup service encrypts your data and keeps it in a safe location far, far away.<\/p>\n

Be aware<\/strong><\/p>\n

Businesses should train their employees in best practices to ensure\u00a0security. This will be beneficial to everyone to raise awareness about the threats that lurk beyond network walls. Training can also reduce the risk of mistakes that typically lead to a data breach. An established policy of data security should be high on a data-driven company’s to-do list.<\/p>\n

Monitor insiders within the business environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monitoring network traffic can help IT view unusual behavior, or at the very least, know what normal network traffic looks like so if anything out of the ordinary is to occur, they will be able to quickly recognize the outlier.<\/p>\n

Secure computers and mobile\u00a0devices<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step to securing a company’s devices is to deploy password protection and time out functionality. It’s also important to make sure all of the regularly used software is up-to-date to ensure that the latest security patches have been installed. A business can also decide to add website blockers and unapproved software filters on their computers for added security.<\/p>\n

Apply encryption<\/strong><\/p>\n

Company’s need to make sure that all of their data, whether it’s at rest or in motion, is encrypted. This includes adding security measures to everything from servers to computers to users’ mobile phones. Encryption is the easiest safeguard against stolen or misused devices.<\/p>\n

Perform regular vulnerability assessments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regular scanning to systems within a company’s network will allow for recognition of vulnerabilities before they become exploited. Having a reliable enterprise-class backup solution<\/a> in place is also very important.<\/p>\n

Data security is gaining popularity as organizations begin to understand the importance of protecting data assets. Proactive planning, training, and action can help to ward off would-be threats.<\/p>\n
