HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A NYC area cyber-security consultant and managed services provider (MSP) presents seven cyber-security best practices for business to protect reputation, assets and customer data in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website.
The informative article discusses the risks posed by cyber-criminals as they target businesses large and small causing the loss of millions of dollars as well as customer confidence. He urges them to partner with retail cyber-security experts if they lack the expertise in-house.
"To protect business assets and sensitive data, organizations need to implement basic cyber-security best practices," related Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies. "That will help them avoid becoming a target and stay ahead of evolving cyber-threats."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "7 Cyber-security Best Practices Every Business Should Implement."
1. Create an Acceptable Use Policy – and Enforce It!
"Acceptable use policies (AUP) outline employee use of business-owned PCs, cell phones, software, internet access and email. For instance, a favorite tool of cyber-criminals involves duping employees into installing malicious software embedded in innocent-looking files or apps."
7. Train All Employees on Cyber-security Best Practices
"According to a recent report from Verizon, 57 percent of all database breaches resulted from insider threats. From careless employees who ignore acceptable use policies to those who fail to recognize the signs of a phishing email, humans represent the primary security vulnerability. For example, an employee may infect the entire network by clicking a malicious link."
"Make regular cyber-security training mandatory for all staff. Help them to understand the "why" of cyber-security best practices. Then ensure success with a layered approach, combining formal training with special events and just-in-time reminders. In the event that you lack internal resources to conduct training, consider engaging a third party to train your staff."
