Cyber Security

It’s more important than ever before to take the necessary precautions and implement security solutions to keep your network safe. Modern technology has made it easier than it’s ever been to remain connected, whether that’s with your co-workers, clients, or friends and family. If the software you’re using has grown in sophistication, then the hackers trying to breach your defenses have too.

Some key steps that every company should take to protect their network include:

• Installing an antimalware and antivirus solution: Designed to repel various threats, this form of information security is only effective if you routinely update your software.
• Training your team: SBT Partners can give your employees key insight into how to spot a cyberattack, especially from phishing emails. No matter how strong your firewalls may be, your entire network could easily be compromised by one employee who doesn’t know what to look for when it comes to an external threat.
• Running a vulnerability analysis and getting a penetration test: Your sensitive information could be in harm’s way, and you may not even be aware of where your pain points are. Penetration testing and vulnerability scanning provide critical insight into how your network is exposed to cybercriminals. SBT Partners’ unique testing tools are designed to uncover even the smallest weaknesses so that you can start working on a solution as soon as possible.
• Upgrading your software: While an older car might look fine on the lot, chances are it won’t protect you if you get in an accident. The same principle applies to your software. The more regularly you update your hardware and software, the more likely you are to remain out of harm’s way. Make sure you’re working with IT that protects you instead of leaving you exposed to cyberthreats.
