written by RSI Security

Over the past years, online data privacy has been one of the most prominent topics in the field of information technology. The unstoppable transfer of data from analog to digital devices and applications means our data is more susceptible to risks and vulnerabilities. Several examples of data breaches had impacted many consumers such as the Equifax controversy which affected a hundred million users in just a short time.

In this article, we will be tackling one of the most effective tools to protect our data — cloud encryption. Using the cloud with any cloud storage providers, anyone is able to log in anywhere with Internet access to upload and retrieve their data. But some cloud storage providers don’t offer effective data protection options including cloud encryption.

by RSI Security September 25, 2019October 14, 2019

written by RSI Security

In a way, small businesses serve as the foundation upon which society operates. Just think about your local coffee shop you frequent on a chilly fall morning or the local pharmacy where the pharmacy techs know you by name. While you may think cyber criminals ignore these small businesses, in reality, they are still targets.

Although small businesses may not possess the quantity or type of information larger businesses do, they typically still handle personal information. Yet, small businesses tend to implement very few security measures to protect that information.

Are you looking for guidance on how to improve your organization’s cybersecurity? Read on for our top tips on how to create a small business security plan.

Importance of Encryption in the Business World

by RSI Security September 19, 2019October 14, 2019

written by RSI Security

Modern businesses are storing and managing a majority of their personal and confidential information online in a cloud with an uninterrupted connection to the web. This makes it nearly impossible to conduct business in a way that keeps your company’s data from falling into the wrong hands. It is for precisely this reason that businesses are incorporating encryption into their cloud data security plans to keep their data private and safe, no matter its location.

Companies that have yet to realize the benefits of cloud computing in business are beginning to learn that in order to make cloud storage safe, their network must be heavily encrypted. This doesn’t mean that your business needs government or military-grade encryption though; you just need to employ basic encryption solutions that can better protect your network data. Here are a few cybersecurity tips that showcase the importance of encryption and how your business can use cloud computing to your advantage without incurring too many risks from malicious threat actors.

3 Strategies to Improve Data Security in Small Businesses

by RSI Security September 18, 2019September 10, 2020

written by RSI Security

Small businesses are constantly being bombarded with the threat of a data breach. Although some feel that there are bigger fish for hackers to fry, 43% of cyber-attacks continue to target small businesses, not large corporations. This is why it is essential for small businesses to fully grasp how to improve data security across the entire organization.

But something that is consistent across the board for many small businesses is the question of where to begin with their plans and strategy for data security. Most lack the type of budget needed to hire the level of on-site IT support needed to remediate vulnerabilities.

It is for this reason that even if small businesses are outsourcing their cybersecurity support to an outside agency, they still need to integrate an internal cybersecurity plan into their organization that their team can use to proactive regulate their data security. Let’s review the top three strategies for how to improve data security that small businesses can integrate into their organization immediately.

by RSI Security September 12, 2019October 8, 2019

written by RSI Security

Vulnerability management is a crucial part of any e-commerce business. Whether you are a technical engineer, IT manager or CIO, you should be aware that basic vulnerability scans alone are not enough to secure your business. Decreasing cyberattacks and threats require a strategic, robust and holistic method of vulnerability management.

E-commerce businesses face unprecedented amount of cyberattacks and this happens more frequently. According to a Big Brother Watch study, 19.5 million attacks happen in the UK each year. That’s 37 cyberattacks within a minute. Because of this, every individual in an e-commerce business should put in mind that vulnerability management best practices are necessary to secure its networks and information.

Vulnerability Scanning vs. Patch Management: What’s the Difference?

by RSI Security September 11, 2019October 8, 2019

written by RSI Security

In September 2017, Equifax, a consumer credit reporting agency, has suffered a major data breach that exposed the personal data of 148 million American consumers. This data breach is related to the “critical vulnerability” in the Apache Struts software that was publicly disclosed in March 2017. According to a report by the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform released in December of 2018, “Equifax used Apache Struts to run certain applications on legacy operating systems. The following day, the Department of Homeland Security alerted Equifax to this critical vulnerability.”

On March 9, the Global Threat and Vulnerability Management team of Equifax sent this alert via email to more than 400 individuals. They told anyone who had Apache Struts to apply the necessary patch within 48 hours.

Equifax, however, didn’t apply the necessary patch. This led to the exposure of their system and data for 76 days. The report implies the need for any business to reinforce, emphasize and enhance the vulnerability scanning and patch management processes and procedures.

Vulnerability scanning and patch management are two terms that are seemingly identical, but that is not the case. While they have a compatible relationship, they are not the same. It is important for a business to learn the difference between these terms or else it could suffer from a cybersecurity attack similar to that of Equifax.

Let’s define these two terms and see the difference.
