Network security is a key issue in 2020 .
If you are an entrepreneur or IT technician in the company it is essential that you are aware that, in 2019, you risked 5 hacker attacks every day , mainly from Malware ( you don't know what they are? I dedicated an article specifically to distinguish viruses and how to defend yourself ... You can recover it here! ) .
I don't want to frighten you, but only to warn you: you, in the first person, can do a lot to make your company safe and all the personal data (yours and your customers) contained!
From the 5 steps that I will explain to you now!
The 5 steps to make your corporate network safe
1. A good ANTIVIRUS always comes in handy
Let's start from the obvious: without an antivirus you can't work . In fact, these fantastic software protect you continuously and know how to recognize threats (as long as you update them constantly ...) and how to isolate the problem.
They have several features and some have a tool called " Safe Network " that allows you to surf online without having to worry. They analyze a site before you can enter it, and if you carelessly click on an unsafe site they block you and ask you: “ Are you really sure you want to proceed? I found threats on this site! "
2. Watch out for WI-FI…
The Wi-fi and all over the world of wireless connections have been a great invention to the computing world, which has allowed everyone to be able to connect to the Internet with virtually any object (We will discuss in a future article, but know that soon there you can also connect with the washing machine ...) BUT in the face of this HUGE advantage there is the problem related to security: Every device connected to the internet is potentially the victim of a remote attack.
Connect and keep the Wi-Fi network in the company secure with passwords and access codes , so that you can limit the possibility of intrusion to the maximum.

3. FIREWALLS are extremely useful!
Firewalls are, literally translating, very useful fire walls to divide the inside of the company from the whole outside world. You can understand how important they are to your company that has sensitive documents and / or data from your customers. There are two types of firewalls, physical and software. If you want to deepen further I leave you a dedicated article: Corporate firewalls, why are they so important?
Also because you don't want to have to make embarrassing phone calls to explain how you have lost all their data and that now a stranger has them, right?
4. An extra BACKUP never hurts!
Safety also means knowing how to deal with unexpected events , such as a malfunction or a broken computer.
It also means answering YES to the annoying question: "Did you back up?"
If you think about your experience you will certainly have experienced one or more unpleasant episodes of data loss, even personal ones (such as photos and videos of the holidays) that can be easily solved ... with a backup !
If you want to deepen the topic I wrote an article on the topic that you can reach with a simple click -> "The definitive guide to an effective backup!"
5. Sometimes a little ATTENTION is enough!
It all starts with YOU and your collaborators.
If you want to have a truly secure network ... you must be careful!
Analyze the critical points of your network (employees who work outside, weak passwords, insecure sites used continuously, etc ...) and solve them. Also ask those who work with you to give their opinion on what are the difficulties in the company's IT, from computers to software.
Together we are stronger!
