Device Security

Each of the devices associated with your company’s Information Technology needs security protection. Every individual end point is at risk for a security breach. Some of the threats your devices may face are the following: data leakage, unsecured Wi-Fi, network spoofing, phishing attacks, spyware, and malware. These attacks can lend your device to data breaches, unauthorized access, and data loss.

There are two important aspects of protecting your devices. First would be enabling 2 factor authentication for the access of critical information. That way if your device is ever lost or stolen, the likelihood of a data breach is lessened. Next would be enabling a security program specific for your device. A security program would run a weekly scan on your computer to check for any possible risks that may be posed to your device. These programs also run a monthly deep security check to do an additional wellness check on your device.

Device Security is more important than ever due to the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT). Nowadays everyone is running multiple programs on multiple devices. A cyber security threat assessment can inform you as to which devices are most at risk. The internet and the IoT gives users the ability to connect on many different interfaces.
