Essential Security Tips for Small Business Networks

Page 1


Hackers don’t see your business is big or small. The fact is that botnets automated scanning techniques don’t care whether your business is small or big, they only look for security holes in your business network to exploit. If you don’t have essential security measures in place to prevent these intrusions, then your business might be up losing everything. Here are some of the most essential steps that you can take to keep your data loss or ending up somewhere else.


• Many surveys have found half or more than that wireless networks are wide open, easy for anyone to gather all your traffics and record your sensitive information just by sitting near your office. For a solution use WPA2 encryption that is far better than other encryption methods which are easier to break. • Many businesses use an old philosophy that is “don’t fix until it breaks”, which can be a prime reason later in their network security compromise. Always upgrade your operating system to latest and be sure to optimize for the 64 bit rather than 32 bit, as the 34 bit is easy for the bad guys to compromise. • Disable access to the Web management interface of your router from the outside network and change the admin default password.


• Use a properly configured firewall as the first line of defense on your network. Turn on your router firewall settings. You also can use desktop firewall applications, but only as a secondary option. • Always use a solid backup strategy for your business network. Periodically check your backup media. • If you don’t have a clue what network security is or what to do to strengthen it? Then seek expert advice. Hire a network security engineer to help you.
