5 WAYS TO AVOID CYBERATTACK
In this New Year festival season, when many people are looking to
buy gifts or personal products, attacks on their personal data also
increase.
Figures from Security Report indicate that 56% of companies
suffered a malware infection during the last year. However, the
same study shows that only 5% of companies implement double
authentication solutions, where this technology is used the least.
Here are 5 tips to avoid a cyber-attack this season, and protect your
data from hackers:
1. Enforce Access Privileges
This is the perfect time to implement zero-trust, role-based access
control. Traditional firewalls that take advantage of IP-based
VLANs for control are only activated after a user or device is
admitted to the network, leaving an opportunity for advanced
attacks. A more secure option is to use an identity, as this limits the
time an attacker has to unleash malware, expand their malware
footprint, and launch other disruptive activities. You're effectively
bridging the gap between when a device connects and a policy is
enforced and using of internet security for full protection is must as
your data is precious.
2. Detect and Respond To Attacks with Built-In
Intrusion Protection
Rogue APs or clients, man-in-the-middle attacks, and denial of
service attacks are just some of the cyber-attacks that can harm
your organization. Built-in intrusion protection can identify,
classify and locate wireless threats from information collected by
the network to block criminals on the network and prevent clients
from joining the criminals. Having this protection solves problems
before they cause damage and gives IT the visibility it needs to
prevent further attacks.
3. Manage Web Access with Built-In Content
Filtering
Preventing users from accessing malicious content is difficult, and
keeping up with the ever-growing list of unsafe Internet sites is
nearly impossible. A good way to keep your network secure is to
choose a solution that includes an easy way to filt
