Tips to Prevent Security Concerns Such As Breach
Hikvision Covers Security Concerns, Backdoor Exploits
Security magazine offers insights to prevent security concerns and other cyber threats in the article, “5 Tips on How Companies Can Prepare for Cyberattacks and Data Breaches.”
From the article: “Data [security] breaches happen for myriad reasons. They can be caused by an employee or contractor that has access to sensitive information, like Capital One. They can arise from the negligence of a third party working on equipment that is interlinked with a company’s operational computer system, as in Target. Data breaches can also arise because of the theft of information that is accessible to bad actors, as Equifax experienced. The list goes on, but what we have learned from these events is helping guide the future of cybersecurity.”
Tips from the article include:
- Mandate background checks for all contractors that have access to your computer systems.
- Require cyber programs from your vendors and certifications to verify their compliance.
- Establish internal controls, such as requiring two people to sign off prior to a funds transfer.
