Model Your IT Protection After The Great Wall.
The Chinese believed in a layered security approach to protect their most important assets. The team at Alltek believes the same. A firewall or antivirus alone isn’t enough. You need a combined, multi-layered security solution with antivirus, firewalls, backups, remote monitoring, and other security tools to protect your vital IT assets from intruders. There’s no question that today cyber-thieves work around the clock to penetrate the walls of every organization. And, they are always looking for weaknesses they can exploit.
Part of the reason why businesses like yours find it difficult to protect themselves is that today’s bad actors use multiple methods and threat vectors to gain access to your data. They combine a range of IT threats and deploy them over numerous stages to maximize the likelihood of infection success.
Computer/endpoint protection isn’t enough. Today’s organizations must prevent these threats from reaching endpoints in the first place. And, with hackers’ multi-pronged approaches, you need a security architecture that does the same – destroy the intended exploits on multiple levels.
Single Solutions Have Never Been Enough
Since the beginning of civilization, people have believed that they were more secure than they really were. Babylon fell to the Persians even though they had a massive wall and sturdy gate surrounding their city. They hadn’t considered that the river passing beneath the wall was an entry point for intruders.
Like them, many business owners and managers believe that one layer of security like an anti-virus or firewall will protect their technology. History has proven that, although useful, single solutions aren’t enough to stop attacks. Today’s advanced malware exploits are so broad that single protections inevitably fail.
The key to an effective security posture is to use multiple solutions with different techniques to block attacks – solutions that alert you if there’s a breach, provide reports and analysis for follow-up, and to help remediate the security gaps that allowed the intrusion in the first place.
This requires a multi-vector solution that protects your devices and users across all the stages of an attack. It must prevent infections that come from activities like web browsing, email, infected files, counterfeit URLs, ads, social media, and devices like flash drives with the potential to deliver malware into your system.
The Growing IT Security Threats You Face
Uncontrolled internet access is a huge threat to your security. Detecting threats before they can harm your IT system is crucial. If you don’t do this, these threats can go undetected and do major damage to your IT network, data, and organization. Threats that come from the Internet include:
- Malware in the form of worms, Trojan horse attacks, and viruses.
- Spyware that hides in your computers and steals your data.
- Identity theft and impersonation to access data.
- Zero-day attacks and exploits.
Consistent 24 x 7 monitoring and reporting is the primary component of good, layered security.
