Long Island Managed IT Organization, Server Bays, Shares 3 Ways to Bounce Back from a Cyber Attack
PATCHOGUE, N.Y., July 27, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- In order to help businesses, run efficiently and protect their data, Server Bays, a top Long Island Managed IT organization, shares 3 ways to bounce back from a cyber-attack.
Even companies with a solid network architecture and safeguards in place will sometimes fall victim to a cyber-attack. These attacks can disrupt a business and derail existing plans - leading to a loss of time, revenue, and important data. If a cyber-attack occurs, it's crucial to have a plan in place to bounce back and keep a company moving in the right direction.
Create a Recovery Plan. Perhaps the most important part of bouncing back from a cyber-attack should happen before it even occurs. By laying out a recovery plan that details the actions a company will take to minimize damage and bring operations back to normal, a cyber-attack can be a bump in the road rather than total devastation.
One key aspect that a recovery plan should cover is a comprehensive analysis of potential threats and the actions that can be taken to address them. After a cyber-attack occurs, analyzing the impact on the business as a whole is an important first step towards getting operations back to normal.
The most crucial part of any recovery plan, however, is figuring out how the business will respond to prevent a similar issue from happening in the future. Change needs to happen - whether that is through new protocols for how employees interact with technology, or through updates to system security.
Implement Communications and Improvements. Tying in with the guideline above, an important part of recovering from a cyber-attack and preventing future attacks is through communicating with the workforce and implementing software fixes that should better protect the company in the future. While having the most secure network can go a long way towards protecting from outside infiltration, all of that planning can be for naught if employees aren't taught the proper way to handle data and online interactions.
As part of the recovery plan detailed above, communicating regarding the way that the cyber-attack was able to take place and improving security is essential to preventing further damage.
Check and Update Contact Details. Part of being prepared for a cyber-attack is knowing who to contact when the business faces such a breach. By ensuring that you have the correct contact information on hand for an IT firm like Server Bays, the company can be well-prepared to immediately initiate a response that minimizes damage and restores their business to peak efficiency. The faster a response can be executed, the less damaging a breach will be, and having the necessary information on hand to bring in the experts right away will go a long way toward maintaining a company's data integrity.
