Find out the best way of protect your data in your firm?
To put the icing on the cake of February, we had the opportunity to invite Fynkus, an app company thought for the properties administrator, on our blog.
Take care of cybersecurity is an unavoidable obligation for all professionals who work with clients' personal data.
Did you know that in the last 2 years more than 71% of SMEs have suffered cyber-attacks?
There is a false sense of security, thinking that these types of threats only attack large corporations. But that is totally wrong.
With the increased use of the Internet for a multitude of transactions, a perfect ecosystem is being created for Internet frauds to continue to be created.
Phishing and Vishing.
Surely on more than one occasion you have received e-mails of dubious origin.
This is called Phishing, one of the most commonly used techniques for identity theft.
The aim of these messages, both SMS and emails, is to obtain personal or bank details of the victims, as they are still companies or individuals with malicious links on which you are invited to click.
Another method widely used by cybercriminals is Vishing.
In this case the methodology may be, as the attempted scam is done via telephone.
This woman tries to get personal and banking data in which a third party is impersonated to obtain information.
As you can see there is a decisive human factor to avoid Cyberattacks: Knowledge.
Inform your team of the various types of threats, to be able to distinguish them and avoid potential problems.
Once the human part of the team is aware of security, it is time to talk about the technological part.
Number security
At Fynkus we have always been committed to security, and one of the ways we consider fundamental is to work on the number.
The number is defined as: "any kind of emagatzematge that can be accessed from the Internet with any device, which uses processing resources and emagatzematge on servers located anywhere in the world".
Applications to the number: The way to minimize damage from cyberthreats
Working with programs that are stored on the number gives us the peace of mind that periodically and automatically, backups are made of all the information we have.
One of the advantages of the applications in the number, is that most of them can be interconnected with each other, so that information can be transmitted from one to the other with great ease, alleviating processes and times.
The servers on which the applications are hosted have state-of-the-art protection systems and are protected with specific "Cloud" cyber insurance. If you want to know more about the technical characteristics of cybersecurity, and we recommend that you read this article from Kaspersky.
Number security is composed of the following categories:
● Data security
● Identity and access management (IAM).
Governance (threat prevention, detection and mitigation policies) ● Data retention planning
● Data retention (DR) and business continuity (BC) planning
Legal complement
Some of the most well-known and recommended servers are those of Google, Amazon or Apple.
For quite affordable prices, you can count on a good emmagatzematge for documentation, arxiu, photographs, or any document you need to have unattended and protected.
On the other hand, the number allows us to access information from any computer with Internet connection, with the convenience of being able to consult information from anywhere. This gives us great flexibility, as we are not conditioned to be in the office, and this agility allows us to give a thousand response times to our end customers. If our orderer is spatula or if we suffer a cybercrime, all our information will be at his disposal, in addition to the men of possible criminals.
It is also important that you know the regulations on personal data protection, as they can be very varied, so it is best that you consult the official website of the AEPD. New regulations are also updated at the national level. I and myself are also recommended to consult those of the province itself, as there are differences between them.
