Aside from needing business security cameras, there are other ways that you should consider securing your business. A survey conducted in the US found that 48% of business owners equip their businesses with various types of security cameras cheaply or expensively. They are part of the place’s protection and security system, both to deter and document external criminal elements that harm the business and to criminal incidents carried out by employees.
But installing cameras in workplaces is not just meant to catch thieves. Many times employees function more efficiently when they know there are cameras in the area. Their documentation helps to properly manage conflicts between employees. They prevent strangers from entering the workplace also.
Being cyber safe is just as important today
Information security experts warn that by 2022, not only will the number of attacks increase but also the scope will be greater due to the advanced technologies and tools used by hackers. That is why you need cybersecurity and if not, you cause yourself a real problem. The problem is exacerbated as more businesses and users rely on cloud and mobile devices, information flows freely from place to place and cellular transactions increase both in frequency and in the amount of money that passes from one to another. Mobile scams are going to be more common and one has to be very careful of vulnerabilities while using apps and as the use of digital storage increases the fear of pulling data from the cloud and through remote access means.
One of the recent concerns is about working in shared workspaces that allow the use of personal devices at work – the BYOD ( Bring Your Own Device ) method increases security risks, especially when it comes to data leakage. According to an article published in consoltech USA, with the implementation of 5G technology in the last year, many in the industry believe 5G networks will be more explosive and thus the networks will be more vulnerable when attackers and these will develop different ways to access sensitive data.
Phishing will increase
Experts claim that in the coming year, phishing methods will continue to endanger companies and users as these methods become more sophisticated, especially via SMS, and cybercriminals will use messages on social networks, such as Facebook’s messenger, and the frequency of these attacks will increase. In order to deal with the phishing strategy, it is important that organizations establish a policy for limited authorization for user accounts and start implementing various solutions to detect fake emails containing dangerous links and thus minimize the potential risk and damage inherent in such attacks. The war for infrastructure control will continue as public services emerge as a key target for attacks. The use of various ransomware will increase and may disable public facilities from municipalities to public centers, thus disrupting the day-to-day functioning of public institutions. The fear is that hackers will infiltrate systems, leak data and disseminate incorrect information or control critical systems. With the rise of threats, it seems that the field of cyber insurance will also grow and more companies will purchase cyber insurance policies, especially as a means of protection for ransom payments. Are you ready to secure your business?
