If you have not done that yet, do it now!

Since covid does not want to go away and, here in Alberta, we are sent to work from home again, as a business owner you must go through a checklist of security “must haves” for another save transition to home environment.

Here are the things that you must implement to ensure improved security of your own network and data protection. If you haven’t done that already, you better start working on it now!

1. Secure VPN connection to your office network
2. Antivirus protection for all computers (including personal ones) that have any access to your network
3. Backup of all your critical data.
4. Password management policies for your employees.

Secure VPN creates an encrypted pipeline for your employees to securely connect to your servers and/or allows for safe file sharing.

Managed antivirus allows for quick thread detection and improves drastically response time to any security breaches that might occur.

Managed backup solutions, allow for faster data recovery in case you are hacked, or data has been deleted by mistake or malicious actions of your disgruntled employee.

Password management policies allow for forcing employees to use unique passwords to access your company resources preventing hackers from easy access to them. Using a password manager, which allows for easy generation and storage of complicated, difficult to guess passwords, has become a must in current times, due to increased cybercrime.

So, if you haven’t implemented these easy steps yet it is a high time to do it now. Cybercrime is on the rise, and you are becoming more and more vulnerable if you don’t take steps to protect your company.
