You know how in every heist movie, there’s a big vault with a steel door, and a bunch of guys have to blow up the safe and crack codes to grab the payload and get out before they’re caught?
Well, if you replace money with your company’s data, that’s why we need cybersecurity, basically.
It’s like when you forget your password for an account at work. Rather than go through the steps of resetting it properly, you try the same few variations until you’re locked out, a warning email is sent to your entire team, and you’re forced to take a walk of shame over to the IT desk.
This doesn’t happen out of spite. It happens because your company has security systems in place to prevent the bad guys from getting their digital-paws on anything from trade secrets to credit card data.
So yeah, password keychains and two-factor authentication are important – but there’s a lot more to it than that.
Cybersecurity refers to the various processes an organization will take in order to protect their hardware, like computers, their software, like your team’s salesforce account, data, like bank account numbers, and any other internet-connected systems an organization may use, like company-issued smartphones.
And if you look at what happens when cybersecurity fails…like when Sony Pictures got hacked in 2014, which caused a high-budget blockbuster to get pulled from theatrical release… it all becomes very clear…
…at the end of the day, bad cybersecurity is bad business.
Cyber attacks come in many different forms, but some of the most common methods include…
- Malware, or malicious software, that cyber criminals will trick you into downloading. This software will help them gain access to your system.
- Ransomware, which is a type of software that will encrypt your data, and keep it encrypted, until you pay the offender a financial sum to give it back.
- Phishing – that’s with a PH, which is basically a scam where someone asks you to enter your login credentials, or even personal data like a social security number, through a phony email address, text message or phone call.
- DDoS attacks, which means a Distributed Denial of Service, is basically a coordinated effort to crash a website by sending over a ton of traffic all at once.
So yeah…this all sounds pretty intense. But fear not! A quick primer on what Industry vets refer to as the 5 C’s of Cybersecurity will help keep you safe.
Change
Technology evolves faster than anyone can keep up with it, so don’t get stuck in your old ways.
Staying up on industry advancements and embracing the constant need to change, is one of the best ways you can protect yourself and your organization from a cyber attack.
Compliance
I know, it’s enough to send boring-HR-seminar-induced chills through the air, but establishing guidelines, and making sure everyone in your organization understands them, is essential.
You can’t expect employees to keep themselves and their data safe if they don’t understand how or why.
Cost
If compliance makes the associates groan, then cost makes the CEO cry.
Running an effective business is a balancing act, and leadership should always be looking for areas to tighten up – but cybersecurity is worth the investment.
Continuity
No, we’re not arguing about superhero timelines here.
Having a continuity plan, meaning a playbook that you can refer to in the event of a cyberattack, will help you respond effectively and get back online as quickly as possible.
Coverage
Cover all of your bases–digital or otherwise.
Keeping your data servers in a physically-secure location that can only be accessed with key cards, or even fingerprint scanners, is just as important as making sure that your employees’ tax-documents are properly encrypted.
At the end of the day, when you get lazy, you become vulnerable.
So be sure to update your passwords, submit your compliance check, and pay your IT guys on time… because we all need cybersecurity, basically.
