Establish a security policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Summarize in a written document accessible to all the&nbsp;security rules&nbsp;&nbsp;of the company&#8217;s&nbsp;information system&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Good&nbsp;phone&nbsp;,&nbsp;web&nbsp;and&nbsp;email&nbsp;security best practices<\/li><li>Rules for&nbsp;downloading&nbsp;and \/ or&nbsp;installing new software<\/li><li>How to choose your&nbsp;passwords&nbsp;, etc.<\/li><li>The&nbsp;vulnerabilities&nbsp;of the computer system<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 &#8211; Make staff aware of the risks involved&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can never say it enough: We must talk to employees, partners, customers, suppliers, etc.&nbsp;Employee awareness of&nbsp;&nbsp;the risks of cybercrime&nbsp;is essential!&nbsp;The financial consequences of a&nbsp;&nbsp;cyber attack&nbsp;can be catastrophic for a company, and its primary weapon is the&nbsp;education of its employees&nbsp;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 &#8211; Back up your computer data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The digital heritage of a society&nbsp;is the foundation of its activity&nbsp;.&nbsp;The capital data of a company must be centralized and&nbsp;saved daily&nbsp;on a&nbsp;local server&nbsp;(for more control) and remote&nbsp;in the event of physical disasters&nbsp;(theft \/ fire \/ bad weather).&nbsp;We can also opt for a simpler solution:&nbsp;A box present within the company and&nbsp;fully secured against physical risks&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 &#8211; Secure the corporate network&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;cyber attacks&nbsp;(&nbsp;ransomware, malware, phishing and other viruses&nbsp;) are external aggression it takes to&nbsp;&nbsp;hang with a firewall and a proxy&nbsp;that protect web connections.&nbsp;The cybersecurity of a company&nbsp;also goes through the&nbsp;protection of the local network,&nbsp;wifi access, electronic messaging as well as any remote access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 &#8211; Protect mobile devices&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Laptops \/ tablets:&nbsp;with&nbsp;new generation&nbsp;and updated&nbsp;anti-malware<\/li><li>Smartphones: Today there are&nbsp;antivirus and anti-malware&nbsp;for mobiles.&nbsp;You should also remember to activate the automatic lock to prevent fraudulent use in the event of loss \/ theft.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 &#8211; Protect personal data&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new&nbsp;European Regulation for the Protection of Personal Data (GDPR)&nbsp;requires the implementation of a privacy policy.&nbsp;It is therefore necessary to integrate a confidentiality clause in IT outsourcing contracts with&nbsp;IT providers and Cloud providers&nbsp;(especially since the vote on the Cloud Act).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 &#8211; Manage sensitive data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The confidential files of a company must at least be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Encrypted when saved&nbsp;(encryption of data considered sensitive under the law is mandatory)<\/li><li>With limited access to authorized persons (connection thanks to personal authentication).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8 &#8211; Secure the premises &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The premises of a company remain its nerve center.&nbsp;Physical access to offices and computer servers&nbsp;must absolutely be secure&nbsp;&nbsp;: Closed and controlled access with digital codes and other name badges for authorized persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9 &#8211; Do security tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like evacuation drills,&nbsp;&nbsp;tests to restore data&nbsp;(files, system images, servers and operating systems)&nbsp;are necessary to prepare for the next cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10 &#8211;&nbsp;Ensure business continuity in the event of a cyber attack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If, despite all these measures, the company is victim of a&nbsp;cyber attack&nbsp;, it is possible to&nbsp;resume its activity in the dark and without paying a ransom&nbsp;.&nbsp;The solution ?&nbsp;Anticipation !&nbsp;Setting up a Business Recovery Plan&nbsp;using&nbsp;specialized&nbsp;&nbsp;backup software&nbsp;allows you to&nbsp;restore all lost or encrypted data&nbsp;in a few hours!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you validated all the points on this check list?&nbsp;Your activity is then protected against claims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;You have not validated all these points?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is the responsibility of a business owner to ensure&nbsp;the security of the digital heritage&nbsp;of his company, since his civil or criminal liability may be engaged in the event of a proven breach.(see the legislative texts on the subject at the end of the article) The main vectors of cyber-attacks in VSEs and SMEs.
