5 important things you must do to increase your IT security

Covid-19 has changed how businesses operate. The need for an agile workspace has been fast tracked and companies have had to pivot very quickly if they want to survive.

 

Cloud services use has increased considerably over the past 15 months, and the need for mobile end-user devices has been unprecedented.

 

However, many businesses have had to implement these changes quickly, which has caused many to suffer from cybersecurity issues. The process has been broken, ways of working have been changed, and how employees work and interact has become very agile.

 

With the number of cyber threats increasing daily; it is no wonder that IT Security departments have been working flat out to ensure their systems are secure.

 

However, not all is doom and gloom. You can do some key things as a business owner that can considerably reduce your cybersecurity risk.

5 important things you must do to increase your IT security

Management and monitoring: Your user and systems need to be protected and knowing what is happening where and when is critical to you being able to respond to issues fast. Having server, application, and end point monitoring in place can provide the correct information about your IT estate and enable you to spot problems and threats fast.

 

Multi-Factor Authentication: Your users are likely to be working from home or remote locations where their Internet connectivity does not have the same security level as your work networks. VPN’s may sometimes not be feasible, and so their security risk is increased. Ensuring their access is secure in the case of password compromise is extremely important. MFA can help with that and provide an extra layer of security.

 

Patch management and updates: Patching is key to closing discovered vulnerabilities. Testing and deploying this as part of a regular cycle can reduce your cyber risk multifold. As employees work remotely, their devices must receive and apply regular security updates.

 

Anti-virus and Anti-Malware: Keeping your devices protected from malware and phishing should be a high priority. Having a robust enterprise security solution that is centrally managed can ensure your IT infrastructure estate is protected.

 

Dark Web Audits: Engaging with an MSP that can also perform Dark Web audits provides a layer of protection that is often missed. Hackers generally release information about hacks on the Dark Web first, so audit “chatter” is key.

 

The above five strategies can reduce your cyber risk and provide proactive information on your estate. Being aware of what your IT infrastructure is doing helps to ensure your IT services can be optimised.

 

If you like the sound of the ‘hands-off’ experience and having your IT and Cybersecurity taken care of by highly trained professionals, we would love to hear from you. Call our friendly team of experts on 0345 314 2001 for a relaxed chat about how we can make all this happen for you. Our team is ready and waiting to help in any way they can.
