Hi everyone, welcome back. Cyber security is an important area of focus. There is a whole lot of data that is being stored digitally, and this includes sensitive data that could potentially cause damage to someone or even a whole company. We will review 5 good practices that can help mitigate vulnerabilities to prevent cyber attacks.
Backing up data
Having an automated process to back up data is always a good practice to prevent data loss. Backed up data should always to stored in a different location than production data, and preferably, it should also be encrypted. Having backup copies of data allows users and companies to restore data from an earlier point in time.
Patching
Software and hardware should constantly be updated to keep up to date with security standards. By managing routine patches, vulnerabilities can be fixed and reduce security risk. This can also only allow devices that are up to date access systems and data.
Protecting Identities
Creating a common identity among all users within a company or cloud helps protect the users with the accessibility. Online privacy is also important to protect cyber attacks against you yourself. Identity theft can cause all sorts of trouble.
