Computer Security
A large part of the actions and activities performed by companies produce a large amount of confidential information collected in the form of various documents: invoice, purchase order, payment order, salary, etc. Implementing 9 computer security measures is critical to our company’s efficiency and compliance with current data protection regulations.
In this article we will show you the basic computer security measures our company must take to protect your information.
9 Steps to Verify Your Company Information
In line with these nine computer security measures, our company can ensure that your data is protected.
Strict data access controls
How can you protect company information? One of the major security measures is restricting access to information. The fewer people have access to information, the lower the risk. Therefore, it is necessary to use in our company a system that prevents access to unnecessary information, user, client, etc.
Make backup copies
Having a periodic backup plan allows the company to ensure that it can retrieve data in the event of a catastrophic event, prevent its loss and allow normal recovery at work in just a few minutes.
Use strong passwords
Access to various company-employed platforms (email, NAS support server, etc.) should be done using secure security keys (passwords), which prevent them from being easily detected by hackers. The use of strong passwords is one of the most important computer security measures in the company.
Protect email
Today, most of our company communications are controlled via email. Therefore, another way to be safe is to use antispam filters and encryption programs, to ensure the security and privacy of all such information.
Rent complete security software
How can you protect information online? The best way is to rent a complete security package that contains antivirus, antispyware, antimalware, firewall, etc., and that allows you to protect the data from external attacks that may occur via the Internet.
Use DLP software
There is a data loss (DLP) system that will be used as a security measure in our company to ensure that no user copies or improperly shares information or data.
Work in the cloud
Operating within the cloud allows, among other benefits, to have information security systems available to the service provider. In addition, the provider will be responsible for that security.
Involve every company in security
For computer security measures to work, we must include all levels of participation in their participation, including external employees such as customers, suppliers, etc. In most cases, our company has the right safety systems in place, and therefore its violation occurs when we work with a third party that does not have these security measures in place.
Continuous monitoring and prompt response
We must implement a system in our company that allows us to monitor data management and detect potential failures or malicious actions. This control system will allow you to take immediate action to resolve any type of incident and minimize its impact.
