The 4 Pillars Of Cyber Security For Your Organization

It is imperative to understand important cornerstones of cyber security to ensure your organization is least vulnerable to growing cyber-attacks.  Information and data is the lifeline of any business today. From details of your employees to your clients and products, every business detail is in data. Any data theft can not only leave you vulnerable but can also mean clients no longer trust their data with you putting you out of business. It is therefore paramount for enterprises to have cyber security checks in place and be ready for any such data theft attempt. A well devised cyber security plan should be based on the following 4 core pillars ensuring data safety. Pillar I: Policies and Planning Without right policies in place it is difficult to allot the right budget towards cyber security.  The first pillar of having an efficient cyber security is to ensure there is a clear defined cyber security policy in place detailing all aspects.Policies and procedures define how to apply various technological security solutions effectively. With a clearly defined policy, enterprises will not run the risk of low budgets for cyber security or cyber analytics. An ideal security policy should have a defined risk-versus-cost rule that can be applied to other policies and procedures within the enterprise. A policy need not define the technology to be used as technologies keep on changing and getting refined with time. Some enterprises have even adopted multiple security policies, one for every segment or division as per the risk factors of the enterprise and its domain. Pillar II: Use of Technology and Vigilant in-house Security Technology experts should come into play to choose the right set of tools to safeguard organization from any sort cyber breach. Once an organization has a security policy in place, the next step involves looking for an appropriate technology for its security needs. Technology assessment may require the role of cyber security and cyber analytics experts to look for the best tools available. A decision on the use of adequate tools like processes for identification of users, systems, hardware, access control, data encryptions, firewalls, virus protection programs etc all come under the purview of technology. Technology based cyber security tools are proactive as they are constantly monitoring for any change in the normal functionality of processes. On the downside, they can be accessed by hackers. Just one small entry into the security systems or a small breach can be enough to trigger a shutdown of such safety tools. Technology tools require constant monitoring and a vigilant in-house team of security experts to ensure all around data protection. Pillar III: Employee Education and Awareness Well informed employees can help organizations tap the full potential of security policies and technologies. An enterprise may have the right security policy in place and the right technology being used but unless the human resource is aware and motivated it may all come to nothing. Educating and spreading cyber security and cyber analytics associated awareness is therefore another significant pillar for security. Educating the employees on recognizing the ‘bad’ by offering real time information sharing can go a long way in keeping risks at bay. Fraudulent emails, phishing and opening of unwanted email attachments continue to be major reasons allowing entry or access to hackers. With an employee awareness drive, such behavior can be controlled resulting in better security analytics in place. The recently infamous crypto malware or ransomware ‘Wannacry’ is a typical example of a data breach that had its roots in the opening of malicious email attachments. Here the the need of cyber security specialists increases to protect the data from hackers  By keeping the employees aware and educated on cyber security aspects, an enterprise can minimize its security risks substantially. Pillar IV: Backup and Disaster Recovery As no brainer as it sounds, it is most relevant in today’s time of growing cyber-attacks. As a last line of defense against any data attack, your enterprise must have a good business continuity and disaster recovery solution in place. Having copies of data stored in multiple locations that are off-site and backed up hourly every single day should be encouraged. Ensure your data recovery and business development solution provider offers adequate and regular backup check on the recoverability of the data. Stimulate a worst case scenario by shutting off your server and seeking data backup to ensure you are always ready for any data breach eventuality. Stimulation can also ensure there is no panic and every employee knows their role during any cyber attack to ensure minimal downtime and affect on important data and services.  Conclusion: Cyber security is today an essential part of any enterprise functionality. No matter how big or small, every enterprise is vulnerable. By following the four security pillars, an organization can keep its security structure in place to minimize such threats.

Importance Of IT security In online business

There is no rocket science in understanding why IT security is important for your business. Those days are gone when people use to write thousands of papers to secure their valuable data. This is the digital world, and we all are dependent on the tech devices that we carry wherever we go. This important and sensitive data can make or break your business that is why it always remain vulnerable to some extent, and there have always been different concerns about its security. There is no doubt that companies are trying their best to secure their data however there are some other forces too that are continuously trying to break your security and steal your data. That is why it is important to keep your data up to date to the modern technology to secure it against the theft. Following are some statistics and points that will help you to understand why every business owner should keep its IT security imperative over anything else. The similar risk for large and small businesses: As mentioned in the report published by the cyber security department of the government in 2016, 65% of large firms detected a cyber-security breach or any kind of cyber-attack last year. 25% of the same companies also mentioned that they faced these breaches at least once a month. As a whole, these breaches cost the big firms over £3 billion and at an average, these breaches cost £36,500. Not only the big firms, small businesses or startups has also been on the target of the cyber criminals. There are many reasons why small businesses are the targets of the cyber criminals. Usually, small businesses don’t concentrate on their IT security due to the various reasons like shortage of resources and human force. That is why they are the easy targets but not as lucrative as the big firms are for the cyber criminals. Recently accumulated figures about the cyber-security breaches on the small and medium-sized businesses have cost them as much as £310,800 last year. These numbers are not as significant as compared to the loss of big business owners but at the rate at which it jumped this year from 2014 is alarming. The total cost in the year 2014 was only £115,000 which nearly doubled just by the gap of one year. Firms need to be prepared for more attacks than ever this year: At the rate on which these cyber-attacks has increased in the last two years, it is expected that this year is going to have more attacks than ever. One of the reasons behind this drastic increase in the attacks is the startups and new businesses who are underestimating their IT security and more concern about establishing their businesses first. With every passing year, businesses which are entirely dependent on the computers and the internet are losing more instead of earning. These firms are not keeping up with every new security update. Conversely, the cyber criminals are equipping themselves with every latest technology and becoming more lethal with every passing year. There is no doubt in it that these small businesses are the favorite targets of the cyber criminals. Moreover, these small businesses have also become a reason to worry for the big firms. Many big firms hire small companies as their vendors who do different work for them. The cyber criminals use this connection of big and small firms and breach the strong systems of big firms by using the small businesses. This is how these criminals are surrounding the businesses from all sides and the need for strong IT security has become the most important thing to sustain in the market for the businesses. How to ensure the security: Since cyber-security has become the major threat for businesses all over the world, companies have now started hiring the professionals to cope with it. However, small businesses who are still on their burning rate cannot get the services of the professionals to secure their businesses from such threats. For the small business owners, I am listing down some of the cost effective ways through which they can secure their digital network to some extent. Ensure the security of your staff information like passwords and usernames. Arrange a proper training session and educate your staff about the precautions that they should take while using company’s devices. Keep your computers up to date and always use paid anti-virus and encryption software for maximum security. If you provide mobile devices to your staff then standardized them. Keep updating the security on employee’s devices. Change the passwords of your computers and every account that you use after every 60 days and ensure that the changed password is stronger than the previous ones. Do not allow everyone to have access to company’s sensitive documents. Only allow the access on a need to know basis. If you can’t hire them permanently, at least hire the cyber security professionals on the contract base for 2 to 3 months every year so they can assist your IT security.
