There are a lot of things vying for your attention each day:
Learning how AI will impact your business.
Integrating the newest technology into your offices.
Automating workflow for a more efficient office environment.
Staying up with the latest trends in the field.
Think about everything you trust.
You trust your employees are doing their jobs. You trust your office manager with the keys to your office. You trust your accountant is filing your taxes.
What about your company information that lives in the cloud? Is it being handled safely and securely? Do you trust your employees are handling it appropriately?
The concept of Zero Trust is centered on the belief that you shouldn’t automatically trust anything at any point in the security process.
Let’s talk about your cybersecurity team for a moment. Who do you have in place working to keep your data safe and secure? Are they trained to meet today’s demands? Are they doing a competent job?
According to an ESG report The Life and Times of Cybersecurity Professionals 2018, nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of respondents stated that cybersecurity skills shortage has impacted their organizations.
Have you been woo’d by the latest technology that promises to be “the one?” The software program that promises to protect you from everything, or the app that will keep you safe; surely they work, don’t they?
All you have to do is look at the latest data breach to determine that isn’t the case.
Imagine having a house filled with treasures. It’s a beautiful house, one that everyone admires in the neighborhood. What’s more, people know all the wonderful things inside; you keep them on display for everyone to see.
Then you leave for a week, and place the key on the doormat where it’s in plain view.
Are you one of the many that have joined the personal fitness trackers revolution? The wearables market is exploding, with nearly a quarter of the US population wearing one to track their daily lives.
Of course, most of this new technology appeals to a younger audience.
How do you know if your approach to cybersecurity is the right way? How do you know if you’re protecting your data well enough to meet all of the laws and regulations on the books today?
The answer may surprise you.
The published version of all HIPAA regulations runs well over 100 pages and contains many provisions.
What if someone wants into your practice? What if they want money? What’s the easiest way in?
If you said email, you’re correct. And it’s not just the biggest companies that are susceptible. Your practice is more than large enough to gain precisely what they desire.
Have you upgraded things around your home and office lately? Chances are you’ve jumped on the IoT bandwagon.
The Internet of Things is impacting all kinds of devices in every aspect of our lives. Installed a doorbell cam? Or a smart lock? A digital personal assistant? A new refrigerator? Or maybe just upgraded your phone? Yep, connectivity is everywhere.
There are lots of ways your data can be compromised.
In the news, you may see some stories about data being hacked, while in others they talk about a breach. They are often used interchangeably, but in reality, they are quite different.
Quite simply, a hack involves malicious behavior, where cybercriminals find a way to compromise IT and steal data or hold it hostage.
