It’s October! Football season, Halloween and National Cyber Security Awareness Month! Whether you’re the IT admin or the person that answers the ‘info@’ emails you should always stay abreast of cyber security threats.
The bad guys are constantly looking for new ways to get their spam or malware into your network. We’ve highlighted and discussed in our blogs numerous ways that the rogues operate. They’re a smart and crafty bunch. You just need to be aware of how they operate so you don’t fall into their traps.
Be aware
A well trained and aware staff can prevent security breaches from causing business disruptions and outages. If you have an awareness program in place then you’re addressing this issue head-on. If you’ve not implemented an IT security awareness program then there is no better time than now to start. There are daily news stories chronicling data and security breaches in large and small businesses. In many cases the reason the breach occurred was due to human error. You can have the best IT security systems in place but if you have just one person that has not been made aware of proper procedures then all of your IT security systems could be for naught.
Be prepared
Mailprotector’s services mitigate the email threats to your systems. People still need to be made aware of how they can help prevent cyber threats from creating havoc in the workplace.
