Effective data security
will forever be a moving target. Whenever security professionals plug a known breach, bad actors are already working to create the next exploit.
Total security
relies on many different factors working together and a single failure could expose your entire IT system to risk.
See the tabs
below for an overview of six data protection steps to ensure your information remains effectively secured.

Target for physical exploits
Includes every business, including self employed home office workers, who are today using technology including multifunctional printers, WIFI and scanners all of which run on advanced software able to be exploited in their businesses.
Networks share and distribute information quickly
Which is why most companies today use a network to connect to the outside world to facilitate emails, network drives, applications, and business workflows, as well as printing or scanning documents. Advanced firmware scanning on the MFP and automatic quarantine feature alleviate some of these risks. The entire network will also benefit from a threat protection solution that includes a firewall, regular endpoint scanning (including printers), network data encryption, and monitoring the activity or behaviour of users.
The main way that scammers and other threats get in to your networks
and access your data is Human curiosity and lack of knowledge. A single click on a bad email attachment can wreak havoc to your companys information.
Training your staff in how to spot, block, and report phishing attempts will shore up the security of the entire organisation.
Implementing multi factor authentication tools
Is a big help in ensuring staff comply without adding onerous security requirements such as repetitive passwords changes that may actually create more risk than it mitigates - writing down down the passwords, or storing them in text files is usually the result. A modern multi-factor security system will help make users' lives easier yet maintain security t company resources.
Malware and viruses are removed
prior to you receiving them due to the advanced nature of cloud solutions and are a standard resource when you deploy with OSIRIS Systems!

You may only detect a threat long after it gained access to your data
So ensuring regular backups, automatic recovery, or advanced business continuity processes (such as data replication) takes place allows you to roll back to a specific point in time. That can limit the impact of the breach, as well as allow you to audit any subsequent changes made to the data.
The advanced tools available within an OSIRIS-deployed cloud-based solution
leverages the power of cloud encryption, backups and malware detection and elimination making backing up your data a straight forward activity.

Authentication controls and strong passwords
will ensure your access points remain secure. Similarly, Wifi routers (similar to printers) provide an easy way to hide threats throughout your network so you’ll want to establish a pull to print process for all physical documents that contain sensitive information. This requires employees to enter a pin code or swipe an access card at the printer before a job is processed.

Cloud-based data centres
provide network security, data recovery, encryption, and advanced threat scanning, as well as physical access controls at the facility.
One of the most effective and easiest ways to achieve effective data protection is to store your data in a cloud-based data centre data centre.
These cloud hosted solutions also reduce your overhead, leaving your information security in the hands of dedicated IT professionals while at the same time, removing errors of judgment operational pressure s burns such as for example, forgetting to remove your back up device or even forgetting to do the back-up at all.
