9 Must-Have Cybersecurity Solutions & Best Practices
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA (MFA) is a great way to add an extra layer of protection to your existing system and account logins. By requiring a second piece of information like a randomly-generated numerical code sent by text message, you’re able to make sure that the person using the login credentials is actually who they say they are.
Intrusion Detection and Response (IDR)
Intrusion Detection software allows you to track when a cybercriminal is attempting to access your systems from the outside, as well as how to stop them.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
This type of solution continually monitors and responds to mitigate cyber threats as they occur. Security technology like this has been developed to protect your systems before, during, and after a malware attack, employing different technologies and methodologies where necessary.
Employee Cyber Security Training Program
What your employees know about cybersecurity, and how securely they use IT can directly affect the future of your business. If you’re breached, the best-case scenario is thousands, if not millions of dollars in damage. This is why user awareness is such a critical part of cybersecurity.
Vulnerability Scanning and Remediation
You need to search for any vulnerabilities that can compromise the overall security, privacy, and operations of your network. By scanning for gaps and misconfigurations, you can then develop a plan to remediate those risks.
Ongoing Compliance Review
Compliance is not a one-time effort. Ongoing compliance requires ongoing management, monitoring your systems for any potential cybersecurity instances, and reporting to the appropriate parties.
Password Changes
Consistently renewing your password is a crucial part of protecting your personal information and resources. Old passwords are more likely to be compromised or repeated, which is why you need to change passwords according to an organization-wide schedule.
Unique and Difficult Passwords
It is critical that you use individual and unique passwords for each of your accounts in order to prevent intruders from having access to all of your accounts after hacking just one password.
Encryption of Sensitive Data
Encrypted data is formatted in a secret code that would be meaningless if intercepted. It is one of the most efficient ways to secure a database given that decryption can only occur through a key, which is essentially a “secret password”. In this case, there is a need for updated encryption software to ensure that private information is only accessible through the database program.
