How to Keep Your Company and Employee Data Safe

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a wide range of issues in various organizations and businesses. One of the most unsettling issues showed us just how vulnerable many businesses are in front of organized cyberattacks.

Big or small, all companies and organizations are under the threat of ill-intended cyber actors who will search for and exploit any weakness in their cybersecurity system.

How to Keep Your Company and Employee Data Safe

Once a breach happens, the company’s systems usually go down (depending on the type of breach) and confidential data is in danger of being made public or sold on the dark web market.

As a direct result, the affected company will lose productivity (for the period of time that the systems are down), valuable information, and their reputation in front of both partners and employees.

Moreover, such companies are also in danger of losing future business opportunities since customers tend to see a breach as a problem of reliability.

So how can you make sure your company is safe? Well, cybersecurity is a complex and layered issue, which is why you may want to consider using specialized ID theft protection services for your business.

It also helps to get advice from a specialist in data and network security as they will be able to discuss issues that may be a problem for your business.

But until then, here are a few takes to keep in mind.

It’s Not a One-Department Job

Cybersecurity is not the responsibility of the IT department or the person administering and maintaining the network. To be successful cybersecurity needs to be a collective effort that involves everyone in the company.

Solid IT Security Policies

Just like every company has policies regarding employee behavior and document filing, now we also need an IT security policy that defines access roles, how to work with devices, what to do in case a company device gets stolen, or how to access the network from a remote location.

These policies need to be available to everyone involved in the process and must be followed accordingly.

Employee Cybersecurity Education

Did you know employees are the weakest link in your cybersecurity plan?

If they don’t know about the threats that could affect the company they can’t protect their accounts or devices from a breach. Moreover, many employees fall for phishing scams because they don’t know how to recognize a well-done attack.

As such, if you want to make sure your company’s data will stay safe, it’s important to talk to your employees about proper online behavior. This includes spotting suspicious activity, working remotely, or sharing data.

Wrap Up

At the end of the day, cybersecurity is a mixture of policies, good practices, and tools that work together to protect the business.

For instance, it’s always a good idea to use a VPN or a Proxy server to add an extra layer of security, but you should start with implementing two-factor authentication. Our advice is to take things one step at a time.

Start by hiring a security specialist to analyze the possible weak spots of your network and continue based on their assessment.

It may be a bit of an investment, but it will keep you safe in the long-run.
