Data Security Requires Vigilant Monitoring

Data Security Now Requires Consistent, Vigilant Monitoring and Maintenance

With all of the various threats to your company’s data and factoring in the impact of exploited network or system vulnerabilities, you simply don’t have the time to do what it takes to keep your business secure.

IT security must continually be revisited. How much time would you say you’ve spent working on cyber-security issues in the last six months? Are you staying up-to-date with cyber-security threats?

If you don’t have someone constantly and actively monitoring your network, you may not detect any issues until it’s too late. What if you didn’t know you were hit with ransomware until after the ransom payment window closed, and you couldn’t access any of your files?

The average time to detect malware or criminal attack is 170 days (Heimdal Security).

Examples of time-consuming, but necessary cyber-security tasks you can offload include:

• Reviewing firewall rules
• Updating your firewall
• Patching the latest vulnerabilities discovered
• Maintaining required controls and standard certifications, such as: ISO, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, etc
• Filtering web content
• Updating software
