Why Network Security is Essential for Businesses?

1.  Make a list of security assets your network already has.  Check for firewalls, anomaly detection, virtual private network, intrusion prevention, secured wireless network, virus protection, and identity management and compliance validation. If anyone from these is missing, then install it as soon as possible. 

 2.  Check these features are communicating with each other properly or not.

3.  Set the level of protection your system and network needs. 

4.  Control the access of your information. Divide your network into different parts and give access to the particular employees whom you want to reach your network. 

5.  Upgrade your operating system into a 64-bit system, because they are tougher for the bad guys to hack. 

6.  Update your anti-virus software regularly. A computer without updated virus is just like a treat for hackers and can cause you to lose personal and financial information.

7. Disable the remote administration feature of your router. This feature allows you to access your network configuration from anywhere. Disable this feature to remove the threat of hackers attacking your network infrastructure.

8.  Create a strong password to access your network. Don’t use your cell phone number or any name for password. Hackers can match up your small details to hack through your network administration.

9.  Change your router settings to WPA2 encryption for a strong protection.
