Is Your Logistics Firm Secure?

Is Your Logistics Firm Secure?

Everyone knows that double-checking your findings is a vital part of doing the work right. We all understand how important it is to verify what you’re being told, whether it’s the result you get in long division or the diagnosis you get from a doctor.

The same should go for your firm’s IT, right?

Even a single overlooked configuration mistake or vulnerability in your IT environment can have devastating consequences if it’s not remedied quickly. Gaps in your practice’s digital security can lead to data loss and noncompliance fines.

Unfortunately, seeing to your own IT environment is more easily said than done.

You work in logistics, not IT; you have other concerns in your daily work. Regardless, it’s still a vital part of keeping your business productive and safe.

What Potential Risks Do You Need Assessed?

The fact is that while firewalls, antivirus software, and conventional remote monitoring are important parts of cybersecurity, they’re not enough on their own. You need to actually examine your defenses and find out where the vulnerabilities are – before cybercriminals do.

You can’t afford to assume that your cybersecurity measures and practices are keeping you safe. You need to know for sure.

The best way to do so is to have the following aspects of your cybersecurity assessed by TNN:

1. Security Measures
You need to determine the strength of your current passwords, the validity of any firewalls in place, and any implementations of control lists that determine what users have access to sensitive information.

By making sure these security standards are properly configured and up-to-date, your system will be that much more difficult to compromise.

2. Reliable Failsafes
Despite best efforts, even the strongest security measures can be overcome, whether it’s a data breach or an unexpected emergency on your premises. Our team will verify that you have regular backups kept at on- and off-site locations that can be relied upon in the case of any disaster.

3. Comprehensive Maintenance
If your security measures are not updated regularly they can become ineffective quickly. In the course of an assessment, you can make sure that your security settings meet industry standards, that maintenance programming is configured to operate automatically, and that any past employees have been removed from the system (a dangerous error that is often overlooked).

4. Your Staff
A comprehensive cybersecurity training program will teach your staff how to handle a range of potential situations:

• How to identify and address suspicious emails, phishing attempts, social engineering tactics, and more.
• How to use business technology without exposing data and other assets to external threats by accident.
• How to respond when you suspect that an attack is occurring or has occurred.
