Your network failing could spell complete disaster for everyone involved, and it’s important that your network stay protected and safe.

If you’re worried about your network being in danger from those who mean harm, preventing it may be high on your list of priorities.  Often times, a successful network is what is keeping a business up and running.  Your network failing could spell complete disaster for everyone involved, and it’s important that your network stay protected and safe.  Here are some quick, easy ways you can practice network safety within your business.

Regular Scans

Professionals can scan all external access points for vulnerabilities; having this done is a great way to prevent hackers from having an open door to your network.  Think of it as Spring cleaning.  When you’re aware of a vulnerability, it’s much easier to prevent it from leading to a security breach.  

Separate Network Into Segments

You can separate your POS traffic data and your Wi-Fi system, as well as your security cameras and your digital menu boards.  That way, if one of these is hacked or vulnerable, it can be shut down without compromising the other connections.  It will help to keep your business running in case anything goes wrong.

Always Update Software When Prompted

Software updates are extremely important when it comes to the security of your network.  More often than not, software updates contain many security features that are added after the provider is alerted of a potential threat.  Your network can be easily protected, so long as you always update whenever your software tells you to.
