Top 7 Cyber Security Tools for Your Business

With so much of our information online, everyone is vulnerable to hackers and cyber-thieves. When it comes to business, a cyber invasion is a constant threat.

Short term loss could be financial, intellectual property theft, data loss, or worse.

The real threat is the long term loss of trust and reputation damage that could take years to repair. If your clients' information is exposed, it will be hard for them to consider it safe to give you their business again. 

Protect your business with these 7 cyber security tools.

7 Cyber Security Tools Your Business Must Be Using

In order to protect your business' digital information, you need a variety of cyber security tools in place. 

For complete peace of mind, you'll want to work with a trusted cyber security partner. In the mean time, these tools are a great place to start. 

1. Malware Scanners

Malware is short for malicious software. It is designed by hackers to gain access to a computer without the owner's knowledge. 

You must have specific anti-malware cyber security tools in place to detect any hacker invasion. 

There are a variety of malware scanners out there, many even available for free (with limited features). 

Protect your business with automatic malware scanners in place. 

2. Routine Patching

Patching is the process of installing a piece of software that repairs any security flaws. Updating an app is an example of patching. 

Picture your business's digital infrastructure as a house. Each time you add a new application, piece of software, etc. it's like adding a new room to the house. 

Software, apps, and the like are built by humans, meaning that there is room for human error. Human error is like an unlocked door or unfinished window in one of the new rooms. 

This can leave a welcome mat out to cyber attackers. That's why your security plan needs to include routine assessments and patching. 

3. Two-Factor Authentication

Use two-factor authentication to add a difficult-to-hack layer of security to your log in systems.

Examples include a verification code sent to a linked phone number or a piece of information only the user would know. 

4. Restrictive Administrative Access

Add an additional security level for your most sensitive information and infrastructure by restricting who can access it.

Click here for more information on how to implement restrictive admin mode. 

5. Network Segmentation

Divide your computer network into sub networks to improve security and performance.

This allows you to isolate the most sensitive data to a specific network to limit access and decrease congestion. 

6. Vulnerability Scanning

There's no better way to access your security levels than a vulnerability scan. 

Try our free vulnerability assessment to find weaknesses in your code and how to remedy them. 

7. 24/7 Security Monitoring

Cyber security protection doesn't come in the form of a quick fix.

Continually protect your business' data with a 24/7 security monitoring system in place to catch attacks the minute they happen. 

Protect Your Business for Peace of Mind

Cyber security tools are of the utmost importance for businesses and individuals alike.
