IT leaders provide the best IT managed services and IT support services. We have managed IT services and managed IT support in the past. Cybercrime has increased now more than ever. And here are the ways through which you can prevent a cyber breach.

1. Cyber security training and awareness

To make a strong cyber security strategy successful, it is very important to educate the employees on topics and news related to cyber security & company policies. Raising awareness and educating are the two most important factors to consider. The best technical experts might fail if employees make intentional or unintentional destructive actions. Educating and raising awareness among employees about company policies & security practices can be done by conducting seminars and online classes to reduce negligence. IT 

2. Perform risk assessments

Formal risk assessment should be conducted by organizations to identify the company’s valuable assets and make them a priority, based on the impact caused by an asset. These assist organizations in deciding how to spend their resources in the best possible way to secure valuable assets. 

3. Principle of least privilege

The principle of least privilege states that organization software and personnel must be allotted the least number of permissions to perform their tasks. This helps decrease the damage of a security breach to a great extent, as user accounts with lower permissions will not impact valuable assets. For all high-level user accounts that have unrestricted permissions, two-factor authentication can be used.

4. Enforce secure password storage and policies

As an organization, make sure to enforce the use of strong passwords that comply with the industry standards for every team member. They should also be forced to periodically change their passwords to help protect them from cyber attackers. Password storage must follow best practices of using strong hashing algorithms.

5. Implement a robust business continuity and incidence response (BC-IR) plan

Having strong BC-IR plans & policies will help an organization effectively respond to cyber-attacks and security crimes while ensuring the business systems remain online.

6. Periodic security reviews

A periodic security review of all the software & network helps identify security issues early. Such a security review includes network penetration testing and application, source code review, red team assessments, etc. Once the vulnerabilities are figured out, organizations prioritize and mitigate them. 

7. Backup data

Backing up all data regularly increases redundancy ensures that all the sensitive data is not lost after a security breach. Cyber-attacks such as injections and ransomware destroy the integrity and availability of data. Backups can help you protect your data in such cases.

8. Use encryption for data 

Sensitive data should always be stored & transferred through strong encryption algorithms. Encrypted data ensures confidentiality. Effective key management and various policies must also be in place. All web applications should use SSL/TLS. Several managed service providers can help you encrypt your data. 

9. Design software and networks with security in mind

Security-designed apps assist in reducing the threats and make sure that when the software fails, they fail-safe.
