Client data like financial information or medical records can cause major damage if compromised. Data breaches erode consumer trust and can lead to lawsuits or regulatory fines.
What is the best way to encrypt data?
Use industry standard encryption matched to data sensitivity, such as AES-256 bit encryption for highly confidential data. Encrypt both data at rest and in transit.
Should we get a dedicated server?
Dedicated servers give you more control, but shared servers work for some businesses. Weigh factors like data sensitivity, traffic and cost to decide what works best.
How often should we train employees on security?
Annual cybersecurity training is a must, with additional phishing simulation tests and informal refreshers on policies throughout the year. Make it an ongoing conversation.
What is multi-factor authentication?
Multi-factor requires users to provide two or more credentials to log in, like a password plus a code texted to a mobile device. This added layer thwarts many cyberattacks.
How can leadership encourage security focus?
Foster an open culture where employees feel comfortable asking questions and reporting suspicious activity without blame. Lead by security-conscious example.
What security certificates increase customer trust?
Display third-party validation like TRUSTe, Norton Secured or McAfee SECURE to reassure customers your site meets security standards.
