Getting Started
Patch Management
Patch management is one of the most important methods for reducing the chance of a cyber crime against your business. However patch management is often a complicated process because of the variety of software used in a company and the effect on a business if a patch rollout fails or is not performed. Reduce the risk of not applying patches by following a structured approach to patch management.
IOT Device Usage Controls
Internet of Things (IoT) devices are found in nearly every aspect of business and life. Historically security on IoT devices have been lacking, either through design or lack of security updates. Cyber criminals are increasing their attacks against such vulnerabilities. IoT usage controls can greatly shrink the security gaps.
IOT Device Development Controls
Internet of Things (IoT) devices can be physically or virtually connected to computers or other systems. And when a device contains sensitive customer or business information, it becomes a big target for the criminal element. Proper IoT development controls will reduce the security risk to customers using your devices.
BYOD Controls
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is prevalent in the workplace, especially when using contractors and freelancers. When you allow employees to use their personal devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets, to access your system or data, whatever is on that device can infect your system. Managing BYOD reduces the cybersecurity risk.
Data Security Policies and Procedures
Data security policies are a starting point for identifying the security issues most important to a business, in addition to providing employees and contractors a guide for how to properly act while on your systems or using the information. Key vulnerabilities include internet usage on a company network, password requirements, email usage, social media postings, and USB usage.
P2P File Sharing Controls
Employees, contractors, vendors, partners, or anyone else sharing and transmitting your valuable data is a potential point for data corruption or loss. Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing is a method to easily swap data between different parties. P2P controls reduce the risk of systems being infected at critical interfaces in the process.
User Access Management
User access controls, or lack of them, is a leading reason how cyber criminals can access business data. System and application access controls focus on keeping your user access list current and clean. This requires a focus on terminations, special privileges (admin rights), contractors, and regular reviews.
Privileged Access Management
Unwanted access into systems to abuse or steal valuable company data is usually accomplished using privileged accounts. Privileged accounts provide almost unlimited access to critical business systems and information. Actively managing privileged system access (PAM) is undoubtedly a key component of stopping cyber theft, ransomware, and other system attacks.
Worker Health and Safety
One of the most important actions and demonstration of concern a company can make is to ensure every worker returns home in the same condition as when they left. The well being of workers and the monetary loss from non-compliance demands focused attention on health and safety (H&S). Developing and maintaining a culture of safety in the workplace absolutely necessitates a structured approach that ensures H&S requirements are understood and lived by all workers.
Mental Health in the Workplace
Workplace mental health and well-being is a critical priority, impacting the health of individual workers and their families, organizational productivity, and the bottom line for businesses. The U.S. Surgeon General's office offers a framework that all companies and industries can follow. Explore ways to better enable all workers to thrive within the workplace and beyond.
