Securing System Upgrades for Securing Your Business – Part 2
Part 2 will cover more reasons why security system upgrades are necessary.
Outdated Tech – Older security systems may no longer be capable of providing sufficient protection against newer threats. Modern solutions can improve your security by being able to address them.
Worker Safety Concerns – Unfortunately, workplace violence is an increasing concern for many companies. Ensuring your employees ‘ safety may require key security system upgrades, including a comprehensive CCTV system and solid access control.
Data & Security Breaches
As mentioned, upgrades may be needed to prevent data and security breaches. As businesses grow more dependent on digital technology and the Internet, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks.
A data breach can be very damaging when it results in the compromise of sensitive data. Loss of financial records and customer information can harm a reputation and profitability. According to the U.S. National Cyber Security Alliance, six out of 10 small businesses that suffer a data breach will go out of business in less than a year.
Cybersecurity can be strengthened by implementing antivirus software, encryption, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). Moreover, employee cyber threat awareness and training programs will teach staff members the best practices for preventing data and security breaches.
A benefit of upgrading your cybersecurity system is compliance with data privacy and protection regulations, including GDPR or HIPAA. Safeguarding your company’s data assets will ensure data availability, confidentiality, and integrity.
Protection From Crime
Security system upgrades can help businesses protect themselves against burglary, theft, and vandalism. Each of these crimes can result in significant economic losses. A small business would be more severely impacted, so it must devote more attention to security.
Early detection can help prevent or mitigate damage from crime. Modern security systems, including access control, alarm systems, remote monitoring, and video surveillance, can help detect suspicious activities to alert security personnel and police swiftly.
