Cyber
Security is always a treat waiting around the corner, and Sierra wants you to
be aware of the risks your business could face. Educating the public about the threats
that could be imposed should a cyber incident occur is a must. With the world
being as connected as it is today, we need to have the skills and knowledge to
safely navigate the internet.
All
businesses, big and small, face a number of cybersecurity challenges, like being
the target of cybercriminals or having intellectual property stolen. Cybersecurity
must become a priority for every business across all industries.
Cyber Security risks include infiltration of information
such as company assets, employee and customer information, confidential company
data, etc. Companies need to have in place cyber risk management plans to
prevent any harmful doing to their valuable information. The best way to do so
is through a process known as penetration testing. Penetration testing is a software attack on a system that
looks for security flaws, and potentially gaining access to that systems data.
This test can help determine if a company’s system was vulnerable to an attack,
if there were proper barricades in place that could defend the attack, and
determine what defenses need to be implemented should the attack be successful.
