7 Things You Can Do Right Now To Bolster Your Company’s Cybersecurity:

  1. Do you have the contact info handy for your cyber experts and resources if you find you’ve been affected?  Local officials like FBI and sheriff, cyber insurance agent, attorney, IT provider? 
  2. During a breach, time is critical, so you need to have a Response Plan reviewed and ready.
    • How would your business operate if the internet goes down or slows down?  Our internet infrastructure has weaknesses that could be exploited as part of this conflict, or in response to the US actions in this conflict.
    • How would your business operate if any of your key business partners are affected by an attack?  We’ve all experienced something similar to this in the last year or more thanks to global pandemic, chip shortages, etc.
  3. Tell your staff to not read emails or news sites regarding this conflict during business hours or on devices used for work – better safe than sorry!
  4. Have you confirmed your backups are in working order?
  5. Is the patching of your systems current?
  6. Do you have networking and internet monitoring in place to detect any “weirdness”?
  7. Geo-fencing controls in place?  If you have no business with Russia or Ukraine, make sure your settings are blocking communications to and from these countries.
