At Tronia Systems, staying ahead of potential threats is a top priority. Our pro-active security strategies allow your agribusiness to operate smoothly and safely. By focusing on initiative-taking measures, we aim to provide a secure environment for your business operations.
Here are a few key considerations to help keep your business safe from potential cyber threats:
- Increase Password and Logon Security: Utilize strong, unique passwords, and when possible, implement and use multi-factor authentication (MFA). Having unique passwords offers better protection from any data breach impacting other important sites. Recently LinkedIn had its data exposed, and users shared passwords with other social media sites (e.g. Facebook). This allowed for impacted users to have their accounts taken over.
- Regularly Update Software and Systems: Keep all software, operating systems, and applications up to date with the latest security patches and updates. Outdated software can have vulnerabilities that cyber attackers exploit.
- Educate and Train Employees: Human error remains one of the biggest threats to cyber security. Conduct regular training sessions to educate employees about best practices for handling sensitive information, recognizing phishing attempts, and following secure protocols. Tronia employees routinely engage in cyber security training to keep vigilant.
- Backup Data Regularly: agrē has multiple different backup strategies in place; we use onsite and offsite, as well as differential and whole backups. Having a regular backup schedule for all critical data is essential for all your company's data. Backups should be stored securely offsite and tested periodically to ensure data can be recovered in the event of a cyber incident or ransomware attack.
- Secure Your Wi-Fi Networks: A newer form of attack is happening after hours right in your parking lot using your main Wi-Fi network. Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is encrypted, and use a strong, unique password. Having a guest network with restricted access to your main network for visitors is highly recommended and can prevent your sensitive information from being accessed.
Technology has become a vital part of running your day-to-day operations. Consider engaging with cyber security professionals or firms who can provide assessments, recommendations, and assistance in implementing robust security measures.
By prioritizing cyber security and implementing multiple proactive measures, we can significantly reduce the risk of cyber threats and protect our assets, reputation, and customer trust in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.
