Part 2"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately, ransomware attacks occur more frequently than any company would care to admit.\u00a0 As stated in our <a href=\"https:\/\/cmitsolutions.com\/south-nassau\/are-you-protected-from-ransomware-part-i\/\">blog last month<\/a>, it isn\u2019t a matter of IF another ransomware attack will occur \u2013 but WHEN.\u00a0 The best defense is to be proactive and prepare for it in advance.\u00a0 When companies face a real threat \u2013 such as these types of security breaches \u2013 they must engage a real solution.<\/p>\n<p>CMIT Solutions of South Nassau has a plan of action to address customer needs and successfully fend off security breaches.\u00a0 We offer a variety of network security offerings and controls to effectively protect against cybersecurity threats.\u00a0 Our plan includes a best-practices, multi-layer approach, including<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two-factor authentication for remote access and cloud services<\/li>\n<li>Advanced threat protection<\/li>\n<li>24&#215;7 Monitoring by an expert Security Operations Center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A line of defense that includes multiple layers makes it more difficult for computer networks and their components to be compromised.\u00a0 Effective levels of security are used to diminish, interrupt or put a stop to threats. Multi-layered elements also increase the likelihood that malware will be identified and stopped before it successfully takes control of a network and all data on it..<\/p>\n<p>Basic network security protection, at a minimum, consists of carefully selected and managed defensive measures.\u00a0 These include firewalls, antivirus protection, password security and data back-ups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Firewalls<\/strong> separate your systems from those who want to compromise them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Antivirus software<\/strong> helps isolate malware before it adversely impacts your entire system.<\/li>\n<li>Use of <strong>multi-factor authentication<\/strong> makes it harder for hackers to gain entry to networks.\u00a0 It requires employees to provide additional information before obtaining access to the system.<\/li>\n<li>Maintaining secure <strong>data back-ups<\/strong> helps ensure that if a company experiences a ransomware attack, it will recover from it by having data back-ups of all critical systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Multiple layers of protection consist of protection and detection layers. However, it is widely known that a skilled and determined hacker WILL defeat the protection layers. A good detection layer evaluates all activity on the office network, identifies activity that is malicious, and alerts CMIT Solutions to the activity.\u00a0 Once we know that a malicious event is in progress, we are empowered to take immediate action to stop or minimize the resulting damage.<\/p>\n<p>Proactive measures must persistently be taken to protect against the dangers of cyber-threats.
