3

Create backups and encrypt all sensitive data

It is important to encrypt such files so that only those who have the right encryption code are able to access it. It is also important to regularly back-up your data on a separate server, so that even if one is compromised, you still have access to your more important data and are not left completely destitute.

Train your employees

It is important to conduct regular cybersecurity awareness sessions with your employees and thoroughly train them on all the different ways a phishing email may be sent.

4

Hire an IT service provider

More than coming to the rescue when a software or hardware fails, IT professionals are experts at analyzing your systems, figuring out the weak links and coming up with the right strategies to create a robust, ironclad security process.

With the right processes in place, you can minimize your organization’s risks of being exposed to a cyberattack.
