How to Foil the Plans of Cybercriminals

How to Foil the Plans of Cybercriminals

We all understand that there are things we need to lock up in order to protect them. Houses, cars, businesses, all are protected with locks to keep those who shouldn’t be in them, out. Shouldn’t your network receive the same consideration?

Our homes have everything we own in them, including jewelry, electronics, pricy appliances, etc. Cars are an expensive investment and deserve to be locked. Businesses usually have some high value items, between the workstations to the other appliances typically found in an office environment.

However, businesses also have other valuables to protect: their data (and yours).

More and more invasions are happening in cyberspace. Why break into someone’s house or business when you can drain their bank account with much less risk? Cyber crime has proven to be a lower-risk, higher reward option for many thrill-seekers looking to make a quick, illegal buck.

Due to this trend, it is increasingly important for businesses to ensure that their networks are just as locked as their physical location is--if not even more so. Consider for a minute that the company’s data includes client and employee personal and financial information, along with all of the business’ sensitive data. Finding security solutions to mitigate risk through comprehensive access control is paramount to keeping all that data safe.

No security setup is complete without today’s most powerful network security features. Firewalls, encryption, and multi-factor authentication requirements are just some of the precautions companies have to consider putting in place in order to do business with any confidence.

If you need assistance with your network security concerns, we’re here to help. Call vCTO Secure at (206) 895-5595 to get started.
