Employee Awareness & Training
There are countless resources for basic
training on good employee
practices. Having employees trained
and aware of the threats on the internet
(and email) is half the battle to keeping
your corporate systems secure.

Website Filtering
Do you control what employees can do
on your computers? You
should! Filtering out certain sites and
blocking certain types of content can
greatly reduce the likelihood that
employees are able to inadvertently
introduce viruses and “malware” onto
your corporate network.

3

Email & Spam Filtering
Don’t rely on employees to know what is
safe or not. Most service providers now
offer this for free. By limiting the types of
content and attachments which can be
sent or received, you can greatly lower
the chances that someone accidentally
opens a bad file while at work (or
home.)

4

Antivirus & PC Support
There is no excuse for every PC on your
network NOT having AntiVirus and NOT
being set to receive automatic
updates. Out of date software is one of
the most common ways Pcs become
infected. If you have employees with
laptops this is a must-have!!


5

Security Healthcheck
For as little as $2,500, you can have a
reputable consultant conduct a health
check – they review your systems and
documentation and can generally give
you an action-plan in as little as a week.


6

Insurance
Lastly, insurance. Many providers now
offer Security breach or insurance
coverage as a rider to your existing
liability policy. Breaches not only cost
you money in lost revenue and
customers but can cost enormous sums
to clean up. Talk to your agent
regarding options, as a small breach
can easily cost $50,000 to remediate.
