October is National Cyber-Security Awareness Month
Have You Conducted Your IT Security Action Plan?
The availability of the Internet has benefitted our businesses in so many ways. We can communicate easily to employees, vendors and clients, work collaboratively with colleagues and co-workers, complete tasks more efficiently, and access the cloud for storage, applications and data transfers. Without access to the Internet our economy would simply come to a halt.
However, cyber attacks abound and are becoming increasingly fierce and destructive. With the current geo-political climate, hackers from Syria and other countries are posturing to retaliate if the U.S. government becomes involved in their ongoing war. As a result of these and other Internet threats, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has deemed October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
With cyber attacks on the rise, and the current geo-political climate today, businesses should be at an elevated level of IT Security.
It’s a scary world, and the Internet as wonderful as it is, can bring disaster to the doorway of your business. You must ensure your IT infrastructure is protected against these threats. Plus, you need to ensure your physical IT assets are protected as well.
