Imagine your business is an unfinished castle.

You’re building it to keep your internal data and customer information safe – the things that are essential to the welfare of your kingdom.

But to really protect your castle from

invading threats, you need to construct a whole

security apparatus.

YOU NEED TO...

Build high walls to keep invaders out, implementing email security that filters

spam, blocks viruses, and inspects outbound email for sensitive information.

Construct a drawbridge that allows you to completely close off the castle,

implementing antivirus software to determine if you’ve been compromised.

Lower the gate to seal off the entrance, using a firewall to scan all traffic as it

enters or leaves your network.

Dig a moat, recognizing a strong password policy helps control who

can gain access to your systems.

Only let people in who know thepassword, training employees how to

eliminate security threats by protecting access to the network.

And staff the castle with guards who check the defenses regularly and who can repair

defenses as needed, because a good backup strategy is required to rebuild the

network, should a breach occur.

Because businesses can no longer afford to take partial measures when it comes to cybersecurity.
