With cybercriminal activity on the rise, today’s businesses are more at risk than ever before. A critical part of every South Florida business’ cybersecurity protection strategy should include vulnerability testing and state of the art protocols to protect their data, ward off threats, and maintain industry regulatory compliance.

Fundamentals of Successful Cybersecurity

1. Policies and Procedures

The foundation of successful cybersecurity is in the policies governing users rights and actions in regards to company networks and sensitive data. The strongest vault in the world is useless if you leave the door open. The same principle applies to your IT. If users can circumvent security policy due to poor rights management or firewalls are open allowing malicious traffic in and out then all the best hardware and software becomes useless. Let BlinkingPC create and manage a solution that works for you.

2. Security Hardware and Software

When thinking of cybersecurity what comes to mind is Antivirus / Anti-malware software and firewalls. These items provide the core tools to implement the policies and procedures as well as protect the computing environment from malicious softwares and actors. Today’s firewalls are more than simple hardware, they are realtime cloud connected devices that scan all incoming and outgoing data for suspicious activity and stop problems before they happen.

3. Backups

Even the most well planned and protected computer systems and the most robust hardware will eventually fail. Whether it be because of hardware, such as a hard drive failure, or a Ransomware attack your company’s data can be lost. Only through best practice onsite and offsite (cloud) backups can you be sure your data is safe in the event of loss. BlinkingPC has many backup options available to fit any size company’s needs and budget.

4. Testing

Thinking you have good protection in-place is nice… Knowing your systems are protected from catastrophic loss is priceless. BlinkingPC gives you the peace of mind knowing your data has been verified backed up, policies are up to date, and through our strategic partners, we can penetration test and certify compliance.
