Two Tips for Your Security Review

Spring is almost here! It is always a good time for a Network Security Review.

Here are a few questions to ask and some low cost tips that are quick to implement on the road to continuously improving your network's security.

1. Have you had any staffing changes in the last twelve months?

If you have had a staffing change recently, take a moment to change passwords, VPN or Wireless Keys, and the security system's code. We recommend this even if the staff left on good terms with you. Why? You never know when their password list was written on your letterhead which got thrown out with the garbage while cleaning their office.

2. Have you had problems with your wireless router recently?

When most small businesses buy a wireless router, they do a good job of making sure it is secure. Wireless Encryption, turning off the SSID Broadcast, and changing the default password are all on the agenda. And then one day recently, it stopped working. The quick fix was..? You hit the "reset" button to get it working again quickly. Now all those default passwords are back, and it is easier than ever to get access to your wireless network.

Changes in your office often result in potential gaps in your security policies.
