Some Considerations
The biggest IT Security risks are the ones your business doesn’t know about or see coming. Many organizations cover the basics and assume it is enough. The use of firewalls, anti-virus protection, regular backups, and enforcing strong passwords is a start, but a more comprehensive strategy is required to stop a malicious attack or a rouge insider. How is your organization ensuring your IT Environment is “secure” from Data Breaches? Clever WPA/WEP passwords that you rotate every six months? Changing the user’s logins regularly? Maybe it’s making sure you only leverage secure cloud services? The truth is, we often are lured to a state of comfort when we go without visible security breaches, but that doesn’t mean you’re impervious to attack.

IT Security Threats
ZAG enables organizations to quickly assess any and all threats (both external and internal) and strike that fine balance between giving users all they need to maximize productivity, while keeping them and the entire business safe from malicious websites and malware. Today’s threats include: targeted ransomware, DDOS, zero-day attacks, and polymorphic malware. The entry points for these types of attacks are many and include: mobile device access points, Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities, cloud exposure, and privileged account exploitation (internal attacks). Cybercrime is a part of our daily lives, but reports reveal that many companies are not properly protected or ready for a significant attack. Are you up to date? It might be time to assess your current network security protocols.
Who is at risk?
Attacks targeting businesses with less than 250 employees are on the rise, with 43 percent of all attacks in 2015 targeted at small businesses. More than 75 percent of all legitimate websites have unpatched vulnerabilities. Crypto-ransomware (encrypting files) grew 35 percent in 2015. Mobile devices in the workplace and the Internet of Things has introduced new avenues into your corporate network. These issues will not be going away, as attacks seem to get more sophisticated. At ZAG, our IT security consultants help clients identify vulnerabilities and assess real business risk, meet compliance mandates, devise security processes and prepare for a cybersecurity breach. And if necessary, we can help you recover from a breach.
