14 Ways to Protect Your Business From a Cyber Attack
Use Our Checklist to Ensure Your Business is Ready for a Cyberattack:
Regular Security Assessment - Establish a baseline of your cyber poster. When was your last assessment?
Block Spam Email - Most cyber attacks start in your inbox. Protect your staff and intellectual property by implementing layered spam filtering.
Strong Passwords - Set enhanced password policies, automatic screen timeouts, limit user access, and encourage employees to refresh their passwords quarterly.
Employee Awareness - Cybersecurity starts with your employees. Host regular training sessions that cover email attacks, best practices, and alerting.
Endpoint Detection & Response - Cover your hybrid and remote workers with endpoint detection solutions from malware, viruses, and script-based threats.
Regular Updates - Keep your applications and OS up to date. Routine patches protect your tech from vulnerabilities.
Multi-Factor Authentication - Implement MFA on your work and personal accounts. MFA can help keep your data secure, even if your password is compromised.
Track the Dark Web - If your sensitive data ends up on the dark web, you need to know. We scan the Dark Web and take action to protect your scraped credentials.
SIEM/Log Management - SIEMs track security events across your network. Protect your company against false alerts, threats, and meet compliance requirements.
Web Gateway Security - Internet security is a race against time. Cloud-based security solutions can track web threats as they emerge, blocking them before reaching your critical infrastructure.
Mobile Device Security - Keep cybercriminals out of your network by setting up mobile device security solutions.
Upgrade Your Firewall - Find a firewall with intrusion detection and prevention features. You can also install firewalls that communicate with your SIEM to log files.
Encrypt Your Data - If possible, encrypt any data that is at rest or in transit. This is especially important if you’re collaborating with people outside of your organization.
Backup Your Data - Backup your cloud and on-premise data, so your business can bounce back. And don’t forget to test those backups on a regular basis.
"As a small shop, we're limited on resources. And one of the biggest advantages is to be able to leverage a larger IT firm like iCorps. Being able to know that they're watching our services 24/7 allows me to sleep better at night."
Scott Parkis - GreenBriar Equity Group
"We truly feel that communication, planning, and execution are the hallmarks of iCorps Technologies in dealing with their customers."
Paul S. Tilley - Marr Scaffolding Company
"A lot of people in the IT space claim to act as a CIO, as an outsourced senior-level function. A lot of people say that, but they just don't do it. With iCorps, they really do have those layers and different engineers looking at responsibilities. From my standpoint, that's the big difference."
Kevin Webb - Norbella
"iCorps has always paired experts to our company and our needs. There's always been a senior tech and a mid-level tech, and basically their knowledge — when either one is in the office or on the phone and dealing with one of my staff or myself, they've always been able to address the IT issues at hand."
Ben Goldfarb - Nauset Construction
"iCorps is our strategic partner and a valuable IT consultant. I look to them not only to maintain our current IT structure but also to provide a vision of how technology can work for us in the future as we strive to reduce costs."
