If you have a small business here are some tips to reduce the risk that you loose your business in the event of a cyber attack. 1. Patching, starts with a vulnerability management program. If you’re wondering about how to get started, a really good resource for you is CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalogue, which specifically highlights the vulnerabilities that they know are being exploited on a day to day basis. 2. Identity and Access Management program to make sure that your employees only have the ability to access things that they need to access, think Role Based Access Conrols. The program also has to have a secondary factor of authentication; so that if somebody gets tricked into giving away credentials, the second factor of authentication stops access, authenticator apps or tokens are better than text. 3. Resilience is having backups of all of the stuff that you care about the most, your data and your systems as well. Your backups have to be offline so they’re not easy to access by a hacker. You also need to check backedup data regularly to make sure that there’s no leave behind that the hacker can use to foil your backup plan for recovery of your business.

🚫 Understanding Shadow IT and Its Risks! Shadow IT occurs when employees use unapproved tools, emails, and online storage to accomplish tasks. While it may seem like a quick fix, working around security protocols poses significant risks to your company’s data and cybersecurity. 🔍 Why Avoid Shadow IT? 1. Security Risks: Unvetted tools can lead to data breaches and expose sensitive information. 2. Compliance Issues: Using unauthorized software can result in non-compliance with industry regulations. 3. Data Loss: Without IT oversight, important data might not be properly backed up or protected. 💡 What to Do Instead 💡 If a necessary application or system is unavailable, communicate with your IT department. They can evaluate and provide secure, approved solutions to meet your needs. Stay safe and keep your company’s data secure by avoiding shadow IT. Always collaborate with your IT team for the best solutions! #CyberSecurity #ITManagement #DataProtection #ShadowIT

Our Service Foundations - it's as much about advice as it is about support. Technology plays a key role in everyday business life, but with that technology comes data protection responsibility and an ever-increasing security risk.

We encourage and help all our clients to adopt the basic steps set out by both organisations, to help protect organisation and client data: 1. Use strong password protection on all devices 2. Switch on Hard Drive Encryption 3. Switch on device Firewalls 4. Keep Operating Systems and other Software up to date 5. Run a reputable anti-malware programme 6. Switch on Multi-factor Authentication wherever it is available 7. Never share logins, passwords, or user accounts 8. Keep a separate backup of your data Adopting these basic principles in your organisation will help you to keep secure and compliant, and things will work more reliably. It will give you a solid foundation from which security can be enhanced further as your business needs dictate. ========================================================= 👱♂️ I'm Andy, founder of Vividly Simple. 💻 IT problems can be frustrating, annoying and expensive. 🏢 We're here to take those problems away. 📅 Click the link and book a chat with me to see how we can help your business. https://lnkd.in/eBVjb3hS

While you might think that catastrophic events only happen to others, the truth is, data losses can occur anytime, anywhere, and to anyone. Backing up your data is crucial for safeguarding your business against unforeseen disasters. Human error, accounting for most data loss incidents, poses a significant risk, especially if you have employees. In other words, if you have people or technology in your business, you're vulnerable. The risks are real and can strike without warning. The solution? Educating your staff is necessary to prevent cyber attacks. Partnering with a trusted MSSP will ensure that your organization is receiving proper training and taking proactive measures to defend against costly cyber attacks. Don't wait until it's too late. Protect your business today by prioritizing data backups and having a technology strategy. www.theitco.ca | 403 456 2009 #cybersecurity #theITco #mssp #yyctech #managedservices #educateyourself #themoreyouknow
