Security Enhancements
Multifactor Authentication
A major threat at the moment is through impersonation of valid websites in order to obtain username and password details from the individual on the other side of the device. Once those details are obtained, access to email accounts becomes easy, and emails can then be sent as that person requests, typically things like bank detail changes. This is inevitably fraud, but we have to put deterrents in place to prevent this from happening.
Protecting your username and password data is imperative, and apart from ensuring these are secure and only known to yourself, further enhancements can be made using technology, namely, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA involves using a secondary form of authentication and verification to access your PC/Laptop, email account or remote access server. This is usually via a pin code or app installed on the user's mobile phone. Things like Microsoft Authenticator are a form of 2FA.
Security Awareness Training
The weakest link in a business's IT security is, unfortunately, staff. Sophisticated scams, including emails sent to try and obtain bank details, passwords, etc, or fraudulent websites are becoming very common. Therefore, the best way to stop this from happening is by adequately training your staff to ensure that they can appropriately recognise scams.
Backup
Backup is quite often not looked at in depth and is regularly referred to as Business Continuity. At Prime Potential, we offer both on-site and off-site cloud backup solutions to customers all over the UK. Businesses only look into Backup solutions when it's too late, when disaster strikes. We will implement a full business continuity plan for our client,s which will provide maximum protection to your business's valuable data.
Disaster Recovery
We never know when a disaster will happen. A disaster can be caused by a significant hardware failure, a natural disaster or an attack by malicious software. In each case, whatever the cause, it is important to have a disaster recovery plan in place to get your business back up and running as soon as possible. Time is of the essence. We will help your business prepare a thorough and robust disaster recovery plan to minimise disruption and loss if the worst were to happen.
