Hacking

In today's technological world, hacking has become a major concern for businesses, governments, and other organizations. Here are some essential measures needed to keep your network safe.

Keep Informed

The first step is to keep informed of the latest hacking news. You can check out various hacking forums online, including some that are ethical and more of an academic discussion than plans to take down businesses.

Educate Your Team

One of the easiest ways for hackers to get into your system is for employees to leave "virtual doors" wide open. That's why it is important to make certain that everyone who has access to your system knows the proper security protocols.

Install Antivirus and Other Security Programs

Once your firewall is in place, you will want to back it up with antivirus programs and anti-malware scanners. These programs will help detect if a hacker has slipped something into your system that will compromise it from the inside.

Make Sure Your System is Physically Secure

Ensure your physical servers are protected and only authorized personnel have access to them. Employees who take files home on flash drives or their personal laptops or smartphones should also understand that those files may contain information that cannot be shared and must be protected. Finally, you want to test your system to make sure you haven't left areas vulnerable.
