InfoSec for Business partners with you and assists in creating a three-fold program:
Communication Design
Traditionally, cyber-criminals target sensitive data like financial records or login credentials. However, modern attackers can potentially use the most innocuous information to their advantage. This is why having a hardened public communication system is so important. Seemingly unimportant details like the names of team leaders and internal phone numbers can be pieced together to form a bigger picture which can be used in social engineering attacks.
Internal Policy
Internal information security policies are the foundation of a strong defense against cyber threats. These policies establish clear guidelines for how employees handle sensitive information, access company systems, and navigate the online world. Good policies can protect against data breaches and minimize the potential of attacks, both internal and external. In short, you’ll create a multi-layered defense that safeguards your organization’s sensitive information. These policies will empower your employees, bolster your security posture, and ultimately promote a culture of information security within your business.
Regular Training
Informed employees become the first line ofdefense. Training based on established policies equips them to identify and report suspicious activity. Gone are the days when cybersecurity was solely an IT concern. Today, employees across all departments play a vital role in protecting your organization. Effective InfoSec training goes beyond simply informing employees about policies; it empowers them to actively participate in safeguarding your data.
What does InfoSec for Business do? Let’s walk through a few real-world scenarios to explain.
The Small Business Security Breach
You own an HVAC, plumbing, and electrical company. Recently, one of your admin assistants’ email accounts was compromised by an attacker. The hacker gained access to your main business checking account and attempted several large withdrawals. Thankfully, your bank blocked these transactions, but now you’re concerned it could happen again. You want to know what steps you can take to prevent this kind of attack in the future.
The Non-Profit Database Breach
You’re an administrator for a church that keeps a cloud-based database of members. Unfortunately, an attacker gained access to that database, using members’ personal information to impersonate your lead pastor. The attacker sent emails and texts urging congregants to buy thousands of dollars in Apple gift cards. Fortunately, none of your members fell for the scam, but now you’re unsure what you are ethically obligated to report and what steps to take next to secure your data and rebuild trust.
Proactive Protection for a Growing Business
You own a large, successful business. Although you haven’t experienced a cyber-attack or data breach yet, but you know that no business is immune. You want to proactively strengthen your defenses and train your staff to minimize potential threats, keeping your company secure for the future.
