There are countless resources for basic training on

good employee practices. Having employees trained

and aware of the threats on the internet (and email) is

half the battle to keeping your corporate systems

secure.

Employee Awareness & Training


Do you control what employees can do on your

computers? You should! Filtering out certain sites and

blocking certain types of content can greatly reduce

the likelihood that employees are able to

inadvertently introduce viruses and “malware” onto

your corporate network.

Website Filtering


Don’t rely on employees to know what is safe or not.

Most service providers now offer this for free. By limiting

the types of content and attachments which can be

sent or received, you can greatly lower the chances

that someone accidentally opens a bad file while at

work (or home.)

Email Spam & Filtering


There is no excuse for every PC on your network NOT

having AntiVirus and NOT being set to receive

automatic updates. Out of date software is one of the

most common ways Pcs become infected. If you

have employees with laptops this is a must-have!!

Antivirus & PC Support


For as little as $2,500, you can have a reputable

consultant conduct a health check – they review your

systems and documentation and can generally give

you an action-plan in as little as a week.

Security Healthcheck


It is good practice to have

your drivers or store managers

regularly check the credit

card readers, to make sure no

one has tampered with them

and that no devices

(skimmers*) are attached

either to the outside or inside

of your payment center.

*Skimmers are devices used by

thieves to intercept card data

while it is being swiped in a

legitimate terminal.

Physical Security

Lastly, insurance. Many providers now offer Security

breach or insurance coverage as a rider to your

existing liability policy. Breaches not only cost you

money in lost revenue and customers but can cost

enormous sums to clean up. Talk to your agent

regarding options, as a small breach can easily cost

$50,000 to remediate.
