Small business security: Reduce cybersecurity concerns efficiently

Phishing, ransomware, malware, trojans, worms – The list of cybersecurity concerns & risks is huge. As a small business owner, you have to ensure that your company engages in proactive cybersecurity at all levels. Businesses have suffered all sorts of losses because of hackers. From having cameras hacked, to ransomware attacks, consequences can be severe.  In this post, we are sharing more on how to reduce cybersecurity concerns efficiently.

Get the organization together

You cannot expect to succeed with cybersecurity, unless every department and team comes together. Cybersecurity has to be a shared concern, and employees need to know their role in preventing cyberattacks and security breaches. Make sure that you have a plan for cybersecurity training in place, and if needed, get experts onboard to train your employees.

Focus on password protection

Passwords must be strong and unique with at least 12 characters. Ensure that your employees are using a password manager, and ask them to create unique passwords for each device and account. Passwords shouldn’t be repeated and must be changed periodically. Basic things like avoiding personal information in passwords also matter.

Create an incident response plan

What happens if your business suffers a cyberattack? Are you employees aware of the steps they need to follow? How would you do damage control? An incident response plan outlines all these details and more, and done right, the consequences can be minimized.

Use network segmentation and firewall

A firewall is important for every networked device, including IP cameras. Network segmentation works like firebreak, where compromise on one subnetwork doesn’t impact others. These are basic proactive measures that do help in reducing the impact of a security breach.

Restrict access

You have to ensure that access to IT resources, assets, and networks, is restricted to the best possible extent. If you don’t have an access management system as yet, consider investing in one and keep an eye on who has access to what, within the enterprise.

Use multifactor authentication

You have to consider using additional means of protection. The best step is to use multifactor authentication, which may include a second or third layer of protection. Even if a hacker manages to hack a password, they wouldn’t be able to gain access easily.

Use lockout feature

You have to use the lockout feature for preventing brute force attacks. If someone tries to gain access to a system by trying different invalid passwords, the account/device will get locked out after a few attempts.
