How to Prevent Security Breaches in Your Workplace

• Introduction

• Main Points

• Workplace security can be compromised through
  physical as well as digital types of security
  breaches. The physical security breaches can
  deepen the impact of any other types of security
  breaches in the workplace. So, lets expand upon
  the major physical security breaches in the
  workplace.

1. Improve Information Disposal Approaches
2. Put employees to the security test
3. Back It Up
4. Provide conspicuous notification
5. Invest in Threat Intelligence

Improve Information Disposal Approaches

• Malicious persons and cyber criminals can gain
  access to your corporate data in many ways and
  use of garbage (disposed business data) can be
  one of them. In simple words, risky and insecure
  data disposal practices can lead your
  organization or business towards data breach and
  other cyber security issues. Almost all
  businesses and companies dispose a huge amount of
  business data in corporate trash cans and
  dumpsters.
• But, they need to make sure that all the digital
  files and papers containing sensitive business
  information are destroyed completely and are
  useless to any other person. You should also
  develop a proper business data disposal plan to
  prevent hackers and bad guys from accessing such
  data and information. Biometric access Control
  Systems are best options to avoid breach.

Put Employees to the Security Test

• Security education and training are of no use if
  your employees forget their training or dont
  implement best practices. Testing the security
  savvy of your staff regularly can give you peace
  of mind your employees are keeping technology
  safe.
• Quiz people in your organization on their
  security knowledge and insist on passing grades.
• Perform regular security drills and inspections
  to ensure people are following security rules
• Simulate phishing email attacks to measure how
  your employees respond
• Follow up with employees that click on a phishing
  email to give them more training

Back It Up

• Backing up data is one of the best defense
  methods that businesses have against hackers.
  Hackers can use ransomware to prevent businesses
  from accessing their data. They do this by
  encrypting it, and then asking for payment to
  decrypt it. However, there is no guarantee that
  you will be able to retrieve your data, even if
  you make the payment. By regularly backing up
  data businesses, you can restore the last back-up
  and get your business up and running again
  quickly.

Provide Conspicuous Notification

• A security breach demands transparency. Once the
  damage is done, a business should make every
  effort and in some situations may be
  statutorily obligated to notify individuals as
  conspicuously as possible. This may include
  emailing affected employees, conspicuously
  posting information about the breach on the
  business website, and notifying major media
  outlets within the geographic area where the
  business is located.

Invest in Threat Intelligence

• In the world of online security, zero-day attacks
  are among the most dangerous. These are
  vulnerabilities that hackers exploit before
  security companies are even aware of their
  existence. As your first line of defense, you can
  invest in a security infrastructure that
  leverages real-time data from crowd-sourced
  threat intelligence.
• While threat intelligence services are paid, they
  offer the best way to stay updated with the
  latest security threats. It might be pricey for
  startups that dont have a lot of data to
  protect, but for established enterprises that
  care about their customers data, then the
  investment is definitely worth it.
