Cybersecurity remains a top concern of businesses in Minnesota, Florida, and across the country. How do you plan to keep your business’s sensitive data safe from 2023 cybersecurity attacks? If you don’t have a cybersecurity plan yet, we encourage you to give us a call to talk through why you can’t afford to ignore cyber threats.
If improving your business’s cybersecurity is one of your goals for 2023, here are a few tips you can implement this month.
Support Network Security with the Right Hardware and Software
Securing your network should be your top cybersecurity concern for your business. If your network is vulnerable to cyber-attacks, it compromises every element of your business. Your financial information—and that of your customers—could be stolen. Your supply chain or project management software could be hacked or held hostage by ransomware. Or, your entire network could go down, rendering every connected device useless. That’s a true cyber emergency.
From firewall appliances to anti-malware programs, a robust network security strategy includes both hardware and software solutions. To maintain control and flexibility over our clients’ networks, ShareTech uses enterprise tools to secure, support and manage our clients’ networks rather than standard managed service provider software.
Secure Your Email
If you couldn’t access your email, or if the content of your inbox and folders suddenly disappeared, what would happen to your business? Would it grind to a halt? If your organization is like most businesses, panic would likely ensue.
Viruses, malware, and phishing emails can hamstring email use and threaten the security of your messages, attachments and networks. We partner with the most trusted names in cybersecurity to offer our clients cloud-based email security. Not only does this allow you to access your emails safely from the cloud anywhere, anytime, it ensures you always have an email backup and are using the most up-to-date security tools.
Sustain Your Business Operations with Cloud Backup
The cloud isn’t just for email storage and backup. It provides a very stable, secure, and scalable way to store and back up all your business data. But without strong passwords, two-factor authentication, file protection, and other security measures, you could leave your cloud-based data exposed to threats.
ShareTech thoroughly vets every cloud-based service we offer to ensure every service provides strong cybersecurity protection without sacrificing the ability to share files and collaborate with your team online.
Consider Purchasing Cybersecurity Insurance
If cybersecurity is part of your 2023 plan, consider adding cyber insurance to your business insurance policy. Insurance companies rarely include cybersecurity in your general or professional liability policy, but many offer separate cybersecurity coverage. Speak with your insurance agent to add this layer of protection to your business.
