The Top Three Key Focus Areas for IT Security Initiatives 

Dan Reisig, VP of Technology & Innovation UV&S

As the data security threat landscape continues to evolve what should you be doing to combat against cyber threats?  

1.      Employee Training and Awareness: Educate employees about cybersecurity risks like phishing, malware, and social engineering through regular training sessions. Teach them to recognize and respond to threats, practice good password habits, and avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments. 

2.      Endpoint Security: Secure devices like laptops, desktops, and mobiles with antivirus software, firewalls, and endpoint detection tools. Regularly update and patch endpoints to prevent malware, unauthorized access, and data breaches. 

3.      Data Backup and Recovery: Implement robust data backup plans to protect critical business data. Store backups securely offsite or in the cloud, encrypting them for added security. This ensures data remains recoverable in case of cyber-attacks or disasters. 

Please join us at the upcoming ARMA monthly meeting, where we'll delve into proactive cybersecurity strategies and the criticality of adopting a layered approach to strengthen your defenses against cyber threats. While no security solution is perfect, you can greatly reduce risks to your data and business. Enjoy lunch on UV&S as we engage in insightful discussions on safeguarding your organization's digital assets in a constantly evolving threat environment.
