Security tips for your office

Employee Awareness & Training

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.

Website Filtering

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.



Email & Spam 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.)



Antivirus & PC Support

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 Out of date software is one of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!!



Security Healthcheck

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.



Insurance

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.
