Top Tips to Keep Your Data Secure<\/h3>\n

Recently Beta News published <\/a>an article on how, The practical guide to fighting ransomware<\/em>. \u00a0The article listed several tips, timelines for implementation, and explanations why the tips were important. \u00a0A vast majority of the information throughout the article was correct and indisputably great advice. \u00a0However, a few tips warranted additional insight.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Keep the operating system, third-party applications and security solutions up-to-date.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    This is critical. \u00a0As seen with WannaCry and NotPetya, malware variants have the ability to creep in through operating software vulnerabilities. \u00a0Countless attacks have been accessed through various applications, both on desktop and mobile devices. \u00a0Also, if the security programs are not updated, they do not know the most updated threats to block. \u00a0According to Beta News, this is a “Quick Win”, meaning it can be implemented in 1-3 months. \u00a0Please understand, keeping these programs and systems updated is not going to take 1-3 months, but creating a plan to automate updates could.<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Restrict administrative rights. \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    There have been countless malware attacks that failed to execute but the end user did not have administrative rights. \u00a0It is one simple, yet effective security measure. \u00a0From a company standpoint, it’s important to understand what employees have access to what, what their access levels are, and if all of the access rights are necessary to complete daily job functions. \u00a0If a user needs admin rights, then leave them — but there may be areas they do not need access to. \u00a0This could, in the event of a malware attack, mitigate the infection.<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Implement multi-layer authentication.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Security breaches could leave passwords exposed. \u00a0However, if an organization implements a multi-layer authentication approach the security of that organization’s data could remain secure. \u00a0A multi-layer authentication approach is also highly recommended for remote access.<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Backup data.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    This may seem like common knowledge, but there are practices that will assist in the success of securing those backups. \u00a0Best practice is to back up the data on an external device. \u00a0For companies, this should be done every hour. \u00a0For home users, daily would suffice. \u00a0It is also important to unplug the external device when the backup process is complete. \u00a0Often times, businesses and home users are unable to recover their data after a ransomware attack hits. \u00a0Therefore, keeping updated backups secure on an external device has become imperative.<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Implement an application whitelist<\/a> approach<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n

    This is also known as a default deny approach. \u00a0While using an application whitelist, only trusted applications are allowed to execute. \u00a0Everything else, including unknown programs are blocked until proven secure. \u00a0This method has been proven to be the most effective in blocking today’s cyber threats — including ransomware. \u00a0Beta News stated <\/a>this approach could take 6-12 months to integrate. \u00a0This is not always the case. \u00a0With PC Matic<\/a>, PC Matic Pro<\/a> and PC Matic MSP<\/a>, it can be done in the amount of time it takes to install the program. \u00a0Once installed, the PC Matic malware research team maintains the whitelist, removing the burden from IT administrators.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
