Cybersecurity Measures Every Business Should Implement

Every business, regardless of size, needs to implement foundational cybersecurity practices to protect their data and systems.

Cybersecurity measures are put into place to protect your company, as well as your clients from enhanced cybersecurity threats that exist in the marketplace today. It can seem like an expense you can put off, and this is true until it is too late, and then the costs of implementation of these measures become much more expense after the breach than it would have been before the intrusion. Getting ahead of cybersecurity risks is critical for businesses who do not want to be exposed to greater risks by ignoring the potential issues today.

Let’s explore the essential measures that should be in place in every organization and how Novatech is at the forefront of safeguarding its clients.

 

What are the foundational cybersecurity measures for a business?

To defend against a wide array of cyber threats, businesses must establish comprehensive cybersecurity measures:

• NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Adopting this framework helps businesses manage and mitigate cybersecurity risks. It provides a policy framework of computer security guidance for how private sector organizations can assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks.
• Firewalls and Anti-Virus Systems: These are the first line of defense in any cybersecurity strategy. A current and robust firewall blocks unauthorized access, while anti-virus software helps detect, quarantine, and remove malicious software.
• DNS Security and Content Filtering: Implementing DNS security measures prevents cyber threats by ensuring only safe and trustworthy domains are accessible, while content filtering blocks access to harmful or risky websites.
