How to Protect your Company from Cyber Attacks
When any cybercriminal launches a cyber attack with the help of one or multiple
computers against one or more computer networks, it is said to cyber attack.
Through a cyberattack, the computers can be illegally disabled, the data can be
stolen and in the worst-case scenario, sensitive information can be breached by
cybercriminals. In the case of cybercriminals, they leave no stone unturned to
launch their cyber attack, namely, there are ransomware, phishing, malware, and
such.
Figure 1 CYBER SECURITY
Prevention from cyber attacks:
When a cyber-attack takes place, the cybercriminal enjoys the leverage of financial
gain through the medium of data theft, money theft, business disruption, and even
more. Inevitable cybercrime can hurt the organization if it fails to take adequate
precautions.
Some of the targets of the cybercriminals include client lists, customer financial
data, IT Infrastructure access, Customer financial data, Sensitive personal data,
Email address and login credentials, Business financial data, and more. Thus, this
information has to be protected from cybercriminals at every cost so that can be
prevented from doing any kind of illegal activity.
However, at Synovatic cyber solutions, we have managed to gather top tips that
the organization can implement for getting protection from cyber attacks:
 Educating employees:
Educating employees of the organization is a very vital part which is why it
should be an active step to talk to them and help them in learning their role
in a comprehended manner. Besides, it must also be ensured that the
employees understand the delicacy of the customers and colleagues as then it
will lead to cyber breaches which are why they must not reveal the same to
anyone. As an organization, the cyber solution here would be to set up an
active list of policies indicating what is functional and what is not.
 Securing network and databases:
It is very important to shield the organization’s network and it can be done
by building up firewalls and encrypting the relevant information. This has to
be done because it actively reduces the abrupt risk of all the cybercriminals
who freely gain the access to any kind of sensitive and confidential
information. In terms of cyber solutions, Synovatic cyber solution ensures
that the Wi-Fi network is hidden; the password is protected, selective storage
of information in the organization’s databases.
 Adequately informing the customers:
Informing the customers as to why their personal information is being
collected will always come in handy. So, one of the cyber solutions here is
ensuring that the customers are well aware of the fact that they can trust the
organization. In the meantime, the organization must also make sure that no
kind of sensitive information for instance the social security number or the
customer’s bank account information is being asked.
 Prevention and protection from cyber attacks:
As of an analysis study that was conducted in 2018, around 4.5 billion
records were finely exposed which were active results of cyber breaches.
As of the 2019 record, there was a wide collection of 2.7 billion identity
records. Thus, the cyber solution here is the deployment of cyber security
protection that identifies and recognizes the indication just in case anything
is deteriorating.
 Conduction of regular audits:
It is quite impossible to eliminate the cyber attacks from their very root but
instead of this can be done is that it can be made sure that the active system
that the organization has in its place is functional so that it can identify if
there are any potential weaknesses. Synovatic cyber solution helps here in
auditing the deployment with industry so that it can prevent cyber breaches.
 Active monitoring of computer system:
Under this, it is essential to keep a record of the number and functioning of
the computer equipment that the organization uses. Here the responsibility of
the organization is to make sure that there is no action of forbidden access.
Other than this, other steps involve removing the software and equipment
that are no longer functional and while doingg so, ensuring that they contain
no sensitive information. The reason to do this is that when there is any
unused software, there are more or fewer chances of them being updated
which may give an extraordinary chance to the cybercriminals to target the
transformation that is contained in the computer system.
