How hackers become a threat to your business

Creating a Human Firewall to protect your business from external cyber attacks

What is a Human Firewall?

“A group of people following best practices to prevent as well as report any data breaches or suspicious activity"

On average a business falls victim to a cyber attack every 40 seconds. Are you prepared? Varay Managed IT recommends the following checklist to start the process of creating your Human Firewall.

Human Firewall implementation checklist:

Designate a "Security Champion"

Make it fun - awards for early completion of training, departmental competitions on who reports the most phishing attacks, etc.

Make it a team effort

Skill sets and level of awareness will vary. Be patient. People have different levels of experience using technology.

Set expectations - security should not impede productivity, although users may have to adapt to new practices

Have Your Credentials Been Compromised?

Often times cyber attacks on businesses go unnoticed, and cyber criminals want it that way. They want to wait for that perfect moment when sensitive information is at their fingertips and with your hacked credentials they have the luxury of doing so until you are aware. This loss of information can cripple a business not only financially but also from a customer perspective. Often times business is lost due to ineffective cybersecurity parameters that are in place.

Would you want to trust your banking or personal information with a company if you knew there was a history of them leaking customer information?  We recommend using the have i been pwned? site to see if your credentials have been compromised for free. Cybersecurity Services and awareness is key to keeping your business protected.
