Top ways to prevent security breaches.
Businesses maintain incredible amounts of confidential, sensitive, and private information about their consumers, clients, and employees. Because of this, they are often targeted by online thieves who are looking to make the most out of valuable information. Cyber attacks on the rise, making it all the more important to increase your business's cybersecurity. Check out these tips to get started.
Limit the type of personal information that is collected. Whenever possible, a company should try to limit the type of personal information collected to a minimum, while adhering to the law and accomplishing business objectives. Quite simply, the less information you store, the less you have to protect.
Limit access to personal information. Ensure that such personal information cannot be obtained from any and every computer in the workplace. Be sure that when employees leave the company, the passwords on computer systems change. Restrict access to personal information to qualified personnel.
Store personal information on secure computerized systems. Enable firewalls and other high-security settings on network and wireless systems to prevent unauthorized access by employees or third parties. Use encryption technologies to protect data systems.
Train employees on compliance measures. All employees should be trained in the company's security and privacy policies. A company's security and privacy policies should also be enforceable by contract on any third-party vendor that manages personal information on behalf of the company.
Secure cyber liability insurance. Cyber liability insurance is designed to address cyber risks. It typically provides protection for costs associated with data breaches and extortion events. The right insurance program also provides access to skilled professionals to manage the event from start until finish.
