1. Firewalls:
We use firewalls to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic. This helps prevent unauthorized access to our network and protects against malicious activities.
2. Antivirus Software:
We install and regularly update antivirus software to detect and remove malware, viruses, and other malicious software from our systems.
3. Regular Software Updates:
We keep all software, including operating systems, antivirus programs, and applications, up to date with the latest security patches. And regularly apply updates to address vulnerabilities.
4. Strong Authentication:
We enforce strong password policies and have implemented multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security. This makes it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access.
5. Access Control:
We limit access to sensitive data and systems based on the principle of least privilege. In that we only grant users the minimum level of access needed to perform their job functions.
6. Encryption:
We use encryption to protect sensitive data, both in transit and at rest. This ensures that even if unauthorized parties gain access to the data, it remains unreadable without the proper decryption key.
7. Security Training and Awareness:
We educate employees about security best practices, including how to recognize phishing emails, social engineering attacks, and other common threats. Awareness is a key component of a robust security posture.
8. Network Segmentation:
We divide our network into segments to limit the impact of a security breach. This prevents lateral movement of attackers within the network and helps contain incidents.
9. Regular Backups:
We perform regular backups of critical data and ensure they are stored securely. This allows for a quick recovery in the event of data loss or a ransomware attack.
10. Incident Response Plan:
We have developed and regularly update an incident response plan to outline the steps to be taken in the event of a security incident. This helps minimize the impact and facilitates a swift and organized response.
11. Security Audits and Assessments:
We conduct regular security audits and assessments to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your systems. This proactive approach can help address issues before they are exploited by malicious actors.
12. Mobile Device Management (MDM):
Our employees use mobile devices for work, and we are implementing MDM solutions to manage and secure these devices. This includes enforcing security policies, remote wipe capabilities, and device encryption.
13. Security Monitoring and Logging:
We implement monitoring tools to detect unusual or suspicious activities on our network. Maintaining comprehensive logs and regularly reviewing them to identify potential security incidents.
14. Vendor Risk Management:
We assess and manage the security risks associated with third-party vendors and service providers. Ensure they adhere to security best practices and meet our organization's standards.
15. Physical Security:
We also take physical security into account. Ensuring that servers, networking equipment, and other critical infrastructure are physically secure to prevent unauthorized access.
