- Employee Training is Critical to Security
As a business grows, so does its network security requirements. Most threat actors know that employees oftentimes are the weakest link in today's modern office. How do you keep your employees from being compromised and opening up attacks on your business data? Employee Training is CRITICAL. Let's explore some reasons why. Basic Education in Risk Management An employee’s knowledge of computer systems can range widely, especially if your industry is not IT related by nature. This does not mean that you shouldn’t spend some time educating your staff on the importance of following guiding principles for the company. You can find many resources for example the National Initiative for CyberSecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS) has made their Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE) free to the public! (Link: https://niccs.cisa.gov/education-training/federal-virtual-training-environment-fedvte). Frequency of Training Typically, the industry standard for cybersecurity awareness training is 4-6 months. This allows you to reinforce company policies and help with employee retention of material. We recommend that you spend some time during the onboarding process of new employees to provide some training right out of the gate. CyberSecurity training is also a great topic to add in your weekly team meetings (if applicable). Citation: https://www.isaca.org/resources/isaca-journal/issues/2023/volume-2/considerations-for-developing-cybersecurity-awareness-training Practical Steps Having your employees follow company security policies is only as effective as the quality of the policies themselves. Here’s some great jumping off points to consider when crafting yours: · Password Complexity · Spotting Phishing Attempts · Common Vulnerabilities in the workplace · Social Engineering Awareness · Malware – Definition & How to spot · Ransomware Remediation · Email Security · Incident Response · Device Protection · Data Protection · Prohibit Unauthorized Software Take-Always Your company data is extremely valuable. Running with a principle of least privilege (LINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege) will allow you to make sure that only authorized users have access to the data they require. Nothing more. We hope this article helps you to consider the importance of cybersecurity in the workplace. OnPoint Computer Solutions values our customers cybersecurity.

- IoT Risks and Mitigation Strategies
IoT or Internet of Things refers to the smart devices/appliances that we are beginning to see more and more. While these devices certainly can bring a measure of convenience and enjoyment, they do carry some inherent risks. Let’s explore how these devices can be exploited, and how you can mitigate your risk if you choose to deploy IoT devices. IoT Overview IoT devices are everywhere. They can be found in refrigerators, watches/health trackers, smart home/business security systems and even in refrigerators. Some people are completely open to the convenience these devices bring while others are terrified at the pace these devices are encroaching on our lives. Securing IoT Most IoT do not contain the latest and greatest from a security standpoint. IoT devices can collect a lot of sensitive information about its users. For example, this could be Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Financial Data, Health Data and more. Hackers can exploit these devices and even use the devices themselves to carry out malicious activities without you even knowing it. That being said we recommend you secure your networks by: Back up your data. Setup IoT devices with long and complex passwords. Make sure your anti-malware/anti-virus is installed and monitoring for suspicious activity. Secure your Access Point/Router/Modem/Gateway (See our blog "Securing your WiFi"). Some IoT devices require firmware updates. If this is the case make sure you are running the latest firmware as this usually contains security updates. Use the most secure WiFi standard you can with your device and deploy network segmentation to separate vulnerable IoT devices on their own network. (See our blog "Securing your WiFi"). Use MFA. This is an important step to make sure unauthorized individuals don’t access your account. Cheaper does not always mean better. Oftentimes to cut costs, some manufacturers forgo safety standards when building cheaper quality similar products. This may save you a couple bucks now, but may end up costing your entire businesses if you’re not careful. Deploy good quality Firewalls & Routers. These devices can monitor activity on your network and protect you from suspicious network activity and even block unwanted traffic altogether. Definitely a plus when considering security for your location. Decide not to use IoT. Yes, this is the most effective way to mitigate IoT attacks. While you may not have as many conveniences by summoning your favorite “smart assistant” to order you 12 more boxes of cookies for the break room, you may just sleep better at night knowing you don’t have to worry about potential IoT exploits. By following these mitigation strategies, you can significantly reduce the risks associated with IoT devices and ensure the security of your connected devices and data. It is important to stay informed about the evolving landscape of IoT security and be proactive in implementing necessary security measures. OnPoint
