Currently, most companies have a large part of their information digitized and stored in different digital media. In the same way that we understand that our company needs security systems, our digital properties also need them to prevent cyber attacks and data theft. For this, it is necessary to have cybersecurity insurance.
Faced with this situation, in Marti Insurance Group AXA We are aware that prevention and advice is more important than ever. For this reason, we offer you these 5 recommendations that will increase the security of your company.
1. Advanced cybersecurity solution
We recommend to companies that it is essential to have an EDR service (Endpoint Detection and Response) installed on the equipment. This system offers a higher level of security than traditional antivirus solutions by being effective against targeted attacks and unknown viruses. EDR works to shield businesses from threats designed to evade the first layer of defense and manage to penetrate the network.
2. Phishing prevention
El Phishing It is one of the most used scam methods today to obtain data in a simple way. Through a simple link, cybercriminals can get your credit card number, or any information that can later be used fraudulently. That is why it is vital to be alert to suspicious emails, especially if they contain links or attachments.
3. Recommendations for software, users and passwords
It is essential to keep computers and servers with the operating system and software updated and to install all the security patches recommended by the manufacturers. And beware! Do not use unsafe apps, illegal downloaders, or mobile apps that are not included in Google Play or AppStore.
When creating an account, make sure that the password contains at least 8 characters, lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and some special character. In addition, to increase their inviolability, it is advisable to change them at least every three months and store them in encrypted form.
4. Shipping and storage of information
To protect ourselves against theft of data and sensitive information, whether personal or professional, we must avoid sending personal data to third parties without the appropriate legal and technical measures. In the same way, it is necessary to encrypt the information, protecting it with strong passwords.
5. Backups and the “clean tables” policy
Make backup copies of the most relevant information for your company on a regular basis and make sure to store them outside the usual work places in an encrypted way. If, on the other hand, the information is visible to others, a good idea is to implement a "clean desk" policy in which workers avoid leaving papers with sensitive customer information or passwords in view of anyone.
