JKS Cyber Security – October is the national month of Cyber Security Awareness.

One point of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), every October, is to provide business owners with the assets to ensure their property and client information. In a period of developing cybercrime, a safe and secure Internet is essential to building a successful business.

As business owner, you can make the Internet more secure by taking an interest in National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Consider JKS to help your business become more secure.

Disaster Recovery

Having a solid Disaster Recovery plan is imperative to ensure the security of your business. A Disaster Recovery plan is a set of policies and procedures which allow a company to recover and continue business as usual in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. These plans must consider all foreseeable and non-foreseeable events such as: floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, malicious attacks (viruses, acts of terrorism), hazardous material events, power failures or surges, etc.

Benefits of Implementing a Disaster Recovery Backup Plan:

• Ensuring your business can continue to operate in the event of a disaster.
• Reducing downtime by mitigating disasters.
• Customer retention.
• Increase the confidence of your partners and clients.

Network Security

Keeping your network secure allows your employees to focus on their job duties without interruption. Breaches in security can bring down entire networks, damage software and hardware, as well as cause you to lose critical data. Companies and their clients are becoming more vulnerable as personal data is being readily shared over the internet. Digital data collection allows companies to be more versatile and have a broader customer base, but also opens up the possibility of a security breach.

Strong Network Security Protocols Include:

• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) or Intrusion Protection Systems (IPS)
• Firewall
• Anti-Malware software and scanners
• Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

Network Assessment

Network Assessments usually begin with constructing a network map which depicts your network layout. We analyze all hardware and software and create an inventory report. We can then provide summaries of all devices and identify any that may have performance issues to prevent any future problems. We can help you create a remediation plan to correct any problems your network may have as well as provide steps to optimize your performance.

The assessment measures and analyzes the performance of:

• Network components such as switches, routers, and hubs.
• Applications used for email, databases, antivirus removal, and backups.
• Security measures such as firewall.
• Disaster Recovery or business continuity capabilities and plans.
• Remote access such as VPN, mobile devices, or terminal servers.
• Network infrastructure such as wiring and switch configuration.

Backup

As the use of technology continues to grow, so does the volume of data companies are accruing. Data is an integral part of any company’s business. However, it is imperative to have a solid practice of backing up the data to ensure no loss occurs. Maintaining the backup regimen and data library can be a daunting task, especially for small businesses with no dedicated IT department.

Benefits of Backup:

• Business Continuity
• Data Insurance
• Flexible Local Storage
• Reduced Recovery Time
