Cybersecurity

MFA is a security tool that requires users to provide multiple pieces of identification before they can access an application, website, or other IT service, providing another layer of security for your infrastructure.  

Employees can be your greatest security asset or your weakest link. Employee security awareness training uses a regularly scheduled series of training modules to keep employees up to date on the latest cybersecurity tactics and tricks. 

In the event of a cyber breach, data backups are used to restore the data from a point in time before the original data became lost or corrupted. The better tailored and more easily accessible, the quicker and more effectively the data can be restored yielding minimal downtime.  

IT vulnerability scans determine possible gaps in security (such as gaps in software versions, missing patches, or out-of-date protocols) that could expose your network and devices to hacks to make sure your organization is at the lowest possible level of risk. 

A penetration test is a hands-on, manual investigation typically conducted by an external IT professional. It's an ethical cyberattack that you authorize to be carried out on your network to discover potential vulnerabilities and explore what would happen if existing vulnerabilities were exploited by a person with malicious intent. 

Software needs to be continually monitored, patched, and updated to ensure critical security and performance issues are addressed. To qualify for cyber insurance, you will likely need a robust plan in place to actively manage monitoring and patching. 

Virtual private networks (VPNs) encrypt your incoming and outgoing information, making it less likely that a hacker can access your identity or data. VPNs are not hacker-proof, but used in conjunction with other security tools, they provide an additional layer of protection.
