Ensure all your software is updated regularly - Unpatched vulnerabilities are an attacker’s favorite way to get into your network, which is why you should keep all of your software up to date! Old outdated software is something that should be addressed immediately to prevent any possible holes in security in your business.

Review your security policies - Standard policies should be set across all of your employees when it comes to how to manage data, software, and the network. For example, giving permission to an employee to continue using out-of-date software when everyone else has to keep their system updated is a hole in your security!

Customize your security strategy - Compare what your business has in place to other businesses. All businesses are different and have different scales, but get an idea as to what measures you need to put in place to suit your business, then deploy it.

Train your users - One of the biggest faults in companies’ security is their own employees! Authentication & Availability go hand in hand, which makes common issues like weak passwords or not utilizing two-factor authentication. Your employees should always think security over efficiency, because after all if their system is compromised, that work can be stolen and deleted.

Limit Access - Utilizing the principle of least privilege can make it so that when any “guest” connects to your network you stay secure. People like contractors, partners, vendors, customers, and anyone else who logs onto your network could inadvertently put your network at risk.
