Beat Online Scams

In a previous blog I talked about Cyber Security and how important this is to all Businesses, whatever their size. That has not changed in the last 18 months, and Cyber Security is even more important than before, with the amount of data and services online.

Cover That Depends on Security

Insurance companies now offer Cyber Insurance as part of their portfolio, and this means that companies are able to claim on attacks or other disasters to their IT systems. This means that they need to ensure their systems are secure and certified for Cyber Essentials Certification so that evidence can be given in the event of a claim after an incident.

As usual, the main pillars of this are:

Network Management

Access to only authorized data and systems and locked down Administrative rights to prevent users letting malicious threats in.

Backup

Regular data backup and test restore. to be the asm legnth as the iamge

Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity

Having a written recovery plan for the company, not just the IT.

User Education

Educating users on spotting potential threats on email, mobiles, and even human interaction on phones
