Assessing your own network is like writing an essay, you can read it over with a fine-toothed comb and still miss dotting an “I” or crossing a “t.” It’s just human nature to overlook small details on your own work. This is just one of the many reasons why you need a separate security focused company to audit your network security.
To make sure that all of your network security needs are met, contact Caffeinated Computer Consulting at (403) 775-7444 today.
Fines Are No Slap-on-the-Wrist
Network security is important no matter what kind of data you have on hand, and sometimes, industries need to follow specific regulations. Many businesses have already been fined for not meeting these, some being over $100,000 US. The reality behind this, most regulations have not been met because they’ve never had their systems audited or updated.
Systems Never Last Forever
There have also been cases when organizations have outdated equipment. Having a second opinion on your current technology is always a good choice. Outdated systems can become corrupted and start experiencing hardware failures. But, this doesn’t end here, you need to make sure you are up-to-date on the latest operating systems and software. Just because you are running an updateable version of your operating system, doesn’t mean your software is still secure. By bringing in a second set of eyes, you can rest assure that you will be safe.
Regular Maintenance Is Always a Must
It’s not only for security reasons you should have your network audited, but to have a chance to revamp your systems: become up-to-date and explore more reliable options. Not only will you see an increase in technology performance, but an increase in employees’ productivity as well.
It’s not always easy keeping your systems safe and secure on your own. Having a second look just means following through with regulations and commitments to privacy and security.
