A recent survey by Vistage revealed that a full 62% of CEOs do not have an active cyber security strategy in place, while 27% have no plan at all. Frankly, this is insane. Follow these five quick steps to bolster your security right now. There’s no time like the present.
- Use a tool like the Cybersecurity Framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or contact CTTS to perform a thorough assessment. You can’t fix something until you know what’s broken.
- Train your employees on cyber security risks. Forewarned is forearmed, and most data breaches occur as the result of employee neglect.
- Implement cyber security policies. Put procedures in writing, and make sure they’re followed to the letter.
- Get tools that work. It needs to go far beyond a simple antivirus, encompassing everything from endpoint security systems to firewalls and backup solutions and everything in between.
- When in doubt, consult an expert.
