The threat landscape is ever changing, and you need to make sure your network is keeping up with those changes. A secure system includes knowing where your data is, who can access it, and what types of devices are used. Business models have changed from what they used to be with the implementation of cloud computing, a mobile workforce, and bring-your-own-devices (BYOD). Hacking is no longer a distant concern. It is industrialized, and targets are more customized and sophisticated. These are the must-haves to keep your system secure.
- Protection across the entire network
You need to make sure your business is prepared for a broad range of attacks and have solutions in place to keep hackers from getting at your data. Attacks can occur on your network, endpoints, mobile devices, and in virtual environments. Your security solution needs to have continuous monitoring and analysis to contain the event when (not if) it occurs to bring operations back to normal as soon as possible.
- Stay one step ahead of evolving threats
Threats happen all hours of the day and businesses need to have access to their systems and the intelligence of what is going on at any given moment. Knowing what is going on helps you ensure that during an attack, you can shut the hacker down quickly before it spreads throughout your entire network. Ensure that you have a system that focuses not only on the methods of attack but also the symptoms of an infection. Finding viruses and containing them is an important aspect of network security.
- Protect your sensitive data
Make sure you know who has access to which files on your system. If the information is sensitive, there should only be a few people that can gain access. Limiting access also makes it easier for administrators to lock things down quickly when an attack occurs.
- Expand your control system
Central management of reporting functions gives your company the edge in keeping your network protected. By being able to see everything in one place (and manage it from there), you can identify applications and categorize micro applications to allow or deny access to the relevant parts of each application. You can also better see which users are posting, uploading, tagging, etc. information. This allows administrators to be able to recognize one aspect and give permissions on the smallest level.
- Create a highly secure mobility solution
With the emergence of staff that works during travel trips or remotely from home, you need to be able to see which users are gaining access to your network, what time they are logging on, and from what location. By being able to pinpoint these factors, you can tell more easily if it is an unauthorized access is taking place and stop it immediately.
