How to Protect Yourself from a Cyber Attack: Part 3
Did you know that 97% of breaches could have been prevented with today’s technology? Here’s some more steps you can take so you’re not attacked:
Step 7: Configure Data Encryption
Whenever possible, encrypt your files at rest (saved on the disk or database), in motion (think email), and especially on mobile devices. By setting up Data Encryption, you valuable data becomes absolutely worthless to anyone who gains possession of your devices.
Step 8: Set up Web Security
Cloud-based security detects web and email-based threats as they emerge on the internet, and blocks them on your network within seconds – before they reach the user.
Step 9: Protect Your Firewall
Enable Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention features on your firewall, and send your log files over to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) team.
