Every day the threat of malicious programs and hackers looms over anyone sitting in front of a screen. As all of our devices get smarter, they also become more vulnerable to attack. Setting up security for your home and business networks is an essential defense against any outside threat.
Common Areas of Vulnerability
At Home
- Router with default settings
- No passwords on your devices
- No Firewall on your personal devices
- No ad-blocking software
- Outdated equipment (routers & modems)
These are not guarantees that you will be subject to an attack, but they do increase your likelihood of being the victim of cyber-crimes such as ransomware, identity theft, credit card fraud, and more.
In the Office
- No Content Filtering
- No Spam Filtering
- Unmanaged password policy
- Unregulated access to files
- No Active Directory
- Default passwords on devices
These items not only expose your business to criminals looking to wreak havoc, but they also allow for costly mistakes by employees that could bring your business to a halt.
