Keeping data and network systems safe from possible cyberthreats is an ongoing challenge. The Hanover CyberSecure Program uses technology and insights from vendor partners to help businesses stay aware of cybersecurity risks and help protect themselves.
Cybersecurity solutions for your business
With more and more companies conducting business online and moving their infrastructure to the cloud, protecting your business, employees, customers and data from cyber criminals has become a top priority. Even with a cybersecurity plan in place, cyber attacks can still happen if there are vulnerabilities with your internal controls, system procedures or information systems.
What is at risk?
Every organization faces its own set of unique cyber risks. The first step in knowing your business’s level of exposure is understanding where you are vulnerable. The second step is knowing how to protect against risks to keep your business running smoothly. These four areas of exposure can help to determine what could be at risk in your current cyber landscape.
Four factors to consider when evaluating your business for cyber exposure
- 1. Data security
-
If your data is lost, it can be extremely costly, damaging your business’s reputation and halting your day-to-day activities. Some examples of the information that could be at risk:
- Personally identifiable information (PII)
- Sensitive business information, such as financial information, sales or marketing plans or manufacturing specs
- Copyrights
- 2. Networks and devices
-
Vulnerabilities can be attacked across your physical devices and software, including:
- Information technology related hardware and systems such as laptops, tablets and cell phones
- Operational technology such as manufacturing systems
- Payment card systems
- Servers
It is essential to identify and respond to attacks while they are happening and before they impact your business's operations.
- 3. Network access
-
Unauthorized access to your network can result from a disgruntled employee or a via the actions of a careless employee. Additionally, criminals may utilize phishing tactics to persuade unsuspecting employees to willingly turn over credentials.
- 4. Third-party organizations
-
Having access to data or systems of third-party organizations, such as IT providers or IT integrators, can result in being targeted by cyber attackers. Unknowingly, you may transmit malware to the third-party’s system, resulting in their data loss, encryption of their systems or other damage.
