Support with Hacking
All business owners hold important data that needs to be protected
The information you store on your network is important. All your business data, your customer data, and access to your software or files is key to keeping your business running. You know that, and so do the numerous cyber criminals that could be circling your network at any time.
All businesses need to be aware of the damage caused by hacking. There is no one linear goal for hackers; each has their own objective. However, it is important that businesses are aware of hacking, and more importantly, are protected against the destruction it might cause.
Protecting exposed IT networks
Not every cyberattack begins with a well-worded email to entice your team members into accessing a discount. Whilst social engineering attacks are common, some are a little more sophisticated and direct.
Not everyone secures their router effectively or takes adequate precautions for the safety of their network. Hackers can be rather adept at finding and exploiting these weaknesses to access your system and wreak untold havoc with your customer data and software. Wi-Fi security is a priority for every business.
What damage does hacking cause your business?
There is no singular reason for hackers to target your business.
Here are some examples of hacking targets:
Looking for financial information like credit card numbers
Destroying your credit rating
Access, copy, or remove customer and business data.
Deny access to your business and customer data for ransom.
Remove important files and information from your system.
Damage or sabotage your system to slow production.
If you are worried about any of these attacks happening in your business, then please don’t hesitate to contact us as soon as possible.
Hacking prevention
There is no advice that any website can give you that will stop hacking from being attempted. In fact, whenever there is a solution created to safeguard your system, there are immediately hackers attempting to create new attacks to get around them.
However, the following advice will make your system safer:
Use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.
Educate your staff and be vigilant against phishing.
Perform all patches and updates regularly.
Turn off any features you don’t need.
Don’t access dubious websites on your devices.
Be careful of using financial information on public Wi-Fi.
Invest in antivirus and IT support.
Talk to the experts as soon as possible.
Gaining backdoor access
Hacking criminals can have access to software that looks for backdoors into your network so that it can infect it with a trojan horse, or similar malware. This will give them access to your entire system, allowing them to install software on your computers, or deny you access to your customer data.
