Page 15 - Cyber Warnings

Do you have a cold, warm or hot backup site in case of a critical emergency? If not, you should
start planning one. If you can't afford one, could you create a 'virtual' office telecommuting
situation where your organization could continue to operate virtually until you've resolved your
emergency situation?

Knowing we are under constant attack and risk, now is the best time to begin implementing
these seven best practices for network security. Hackers, malicious insiders and cyber-criminals
have had their field day this year and it’s only going to get worse - hijacking our SMB networks
and placing most organizations at risk of being out of compliance, tarnishing our brands,
reducing our productivity and employee morale - placing most of us in the passenger seat on a
runaway Internet.

By taking a more proactive approach, setting measurable goals and documenting your progress
along the way, you might find yourself in the drivers’ seat of Cyber Security this year.
