There are so many cyber security warnings every week, it can be really hard to keep up.
So today I’m making it easy for you. These 3 of the most common cyber security mistakes made by businesses like yours.
The first is not being strict enough with employee privilege rights.
When someone changes roles their data access rights should change too. Businesses are quick to give people access to data, but forget to remove it.
It’s the same when someone leaves. Close their accounts and revoke their rights.
The tighter your team’s privileges, the harder it is for cyber criminals to install malware.
It also slows down something called lateral movement. This is the second most common mistake.
It’s where criminals get access to one system, perhaps something that’s not mission-critical. But from there they can move onto another system, and another.
Ultimately they’re aiming for your email and bank account.
The final mistake is not taking this seriously. Businesses that work closely with their IT partner to prepare and protect are less likely to be attacked in the first place.
And will be back on their feet faster if the worst does happen.
