Security threats are often enough to strike fear into the bravest, most prepared companies--and that's simply because online dangers are always changing. To help to keep up with all the latest risks, we've made a list of security threats that might exist right under your nose.
Little Problems, Big Trouble
When you think about IT security, you probably think about the high-profile stuff--passwords, online documents, firewalls, and network protection. Unfortunately, the truth is that the littler, more subtle threats can be just as dangerous to your customers, employees, budget, and reputation--and if you're not careful, you might not even notice anything is wrong.
Here are a few less apparent threats to keep an eye on!
- Different types of data
These days, everything is data--from voicemails to texts. No matter how you're communicating with clients and employees, it's up to you to keep that data safe.
- Interior threats
You probably focus your energy on protecting against outside threats--but although nobody wants to think about it, it's necessary to protect against inside threats too. After all, even well-meaning employees can sometimes make a mistake big enough to jeopardize your business.
- Flawed communication
With so many different types of communication, it's easy to save a file in the wrong place or accidentally use the wrong tool to send a document. That's why you need security protocols that integrate your entire IT environment at the same time.
