Cyber Security – protecting your mobile devices

Introduction

Cyber Security has been in the headlines over the last couple of months. And not for the right reasons. From Airports and Car Manufacturers to Children’s Nurseries and Haulage Firms, is no business safe? Cybercrime and computer hacking are on the up. We live in a digital world where technology changes at a phenomenal rate. As a result, the bad guys are always looking for weaknesses to exploit. Luckily at Complete Voice & Data we’re here protecting your mobile devices and the data on them.

Common Sense Security

In addition to installing a Mobile Device Management Solution, is is essential your employees take a common sense approach to protecting their mobile devices. Simple steps such as ensuring the device is password locked at all times, not sharing passwords, not installing third party apps and software. If the worst happens and a phone is lost or stolen, it is essential it is locked down as soon as possible – so provide employees with a dedicated number or point of contact.

Organisations should not just look at their own IT and data systems, but also those of their suppliers. Are they Cyber Essentials certified for instance? If you are integrated with a supplier or customer they may be the weakest link in your IT chain. Therefore every point of contact in your system needs to be checked and ensured they are compliant.

Conclusion

Cyber crime is on the increase, even organisations with the largest resources are not immune. It is essential you protect every step of your IT chain, have disaster recovery plans, offline back up and potentially processes if the worst happens.
