IT security & data protection
Basic IT security
The foundation that most attacks fail against
What this is about
Most attacks are not sophisticated but cheap: outdated software, weak passwords, open access. Anyone who covers these basics drops out of the sights of automated attacks.
What is included
- Survey of all systems and access
- Applying updates reliably
- Strong passwords and two-factor authentication
- Permissions by need rather than by habit
- Backups with proven restore
Process
How we go about it.
Check
What is reachable, what is outdated, who may do what?
Assess
Rank risks by damage and likelihood.
Implement
In stages, starting with the biggest lever.
Re-check
Annual review and report.
Frequent questions
This is what we are often asked.
Are small businesses affected at all?
Yes, especially them. Attacks run automatically, and they look for gaps, not names.
What is the single most important step?
A tested backup. After that: two-factor authentication for all access from outside.
What does basic protection cost?
Considerably less than an incident. Much of it is configuration work rather than purchases.
