Three simple steps: safer systems and devices.
The onslaught requires more than the best in conventional threat protections. Today’s threat environment requires people and companies to act in a coordinated fashion to crush the threats. They are coming too fast and mutating too quickly for any of us in the technology sector to turn a blind eye. We cannot think that it will be handled by convention technologies alone. Although there are roughly 25 threat vectors used in attacks they are mutating constantly and leveraging countless weaknesses in the web we all use. Here is a little pun for us… – Deliver breakthrough experiences across platforms and devices…

There is a lot of pap and meaningless threat hype out on the market. It reminds me of the heady days of the Y2K threat. This is no difference than then these threats are in many ways more real. It seems many small and medium size companies are paying less attention. but taking three simple steps in everyday computing is a way to reduce costs and get peace of mind. When did you company have it’s last external security audit?
Staying prepared, watching for alerts and acting on them individually is key. Not doing so it is like not maintaining the brakes on your car. More people are going to be in jeopardy than just you and your passengers.

Three simple steps to stopping cyber-security breeches. Have a blueprint for how your technology is all put together. You don’t have to understand how it works, but that helps. Just know how systems are connected helps one “mind the gap” as the say when stepping on the subway in London. Knowing the gaps means you are prepared to step across the threshold. Watch those gaps, by monitoring them routinely with a service is vigilance. Focusing on security forces one to be proactive.
