The Reality of Cyber Threats

It’s no secret that access control systems are incredibly important for the security of your physical business presence, but what about your cyber security? Card access doesn’t really protect you from cyber-attacks, and these attacks are very real. Beyond making sure your business is protected physically, it’s important to protect your internet properties as well. If you’re looking to completely safeguard every element of your business it’s important to consider the following steps at safeguarding your cyber presence.

· Implement and monitor a strong company wide computer use policy that is strongly enforced.
· Install and update antivirus and malware protection software on all computers used within the company.
· Set up a firewall and DoS application on the corporate network. If your employees VPN from home, ensure they have proper firewall and antivirus protection themselves.
· Always scan incoming E-mails for virus infected attachments.
· Monitor web traffic.
