Tips for cyberattaks
Hardening of systems:
Hardening, in computing, translates into securing a system by limiting its surface of vulnerability; the more functions a system performs the more open it becomes and therefore, more vulnerable to possible attacks.
- Keep software& hardware up-to-date:
Software companies typically provide software updates for 3 reasons: to add new features, fix known bugs, and upgrade security.
Always update to the latest version of your software to protect yourself from new or existing security vulnerabilities.
- Patch Devices and antivirus:
You can significantly reduce your vulnerability by ensuring you have an anti-virus, at least one anti-malware installed on your computers, keep pathing and up to date your devices like PCs, Mobiles, Servers, Handhelds and tablets.
- Enable Multi-Factor authentication:
While having a strong password is the first step to secure your data; however, passwords will not be of any help in case of a keylogging attack. A key logger is used to monitor and record each keystroke typed on a specific computer’s keyboard. In case of such attacks, the strength of the password is made ineffective and it is easy for the attacker to steal your credentials. “Enabling a two-factor authentication helps in mitigating this risk to maximum extent possible,” assures Thapar.
- Backup your Data:
Important data can be lost as a result of a security breach. To make sure you’re prepared to restore data once it’s lost, you should ensure your important information is backed up frequently on the cloud or a local storage device.
Bonus Tip:
A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that consists of the critical information an organization needs to continue operating during an unplanned event.
The BCP states the essential functions of the business, identifies which systems and processes must be sustained, and details how to maintain them. It should consider any possible business disruption.
