Another October is coming to a close, and that means it’s time to wrap up another National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This year’s focus is all about the importance of personal cybersecurity ownership and the proactive steps you can take at home and at work to enhance cybersecurity.
Because most state and local government agencies don’t have millions to spend on cybersecurity, they can be looked at as easy prey for cybercriminals. In this blog, we will discuss one of the top threats facing agencies like yours, what you should consider when creating your cybersecurity strategy, and how a partner like Internetwork Engineering (IE) can help.
From RFID asset tracking and data analytics to connected sensors and access control, the Internet of Things (IoT) promises to provide businesses with marketable, actionable insights to help them grow. For this reason, Internetwork Engineering (IE) has made significant investments in IoT technology solutions and training to secure Cisco’s IoT Authorization released earlier in 2019.
The following is a guest post from our partners at Varonis highlighting their OktoberTekfest breakout session.
Technology helps us communicate and collaborate across barriers that once confined us, were costly to bridge or extended the length of processes. The ease and convenience that’s brought by today’s digital technologies have also ushered in a time of unease and vulnerability. Information exchanged and stored digitally holds personal information that can be troublesome on its own if in the wrong hands or be used like a puzzle piece to achieve a hacker’s end goal. Handling this information in today’s data-rich world has its own set of challenges, and for businesses who process these important pieces of information like social security numbers, medical records, and credit card information, there are also compliance regulations adding to the complexity of it all. To help organizations operate more efficiently and securely, we’ve partnered with XMedius for secure file exchange and communications. Their solutions help reduce costs and are simple to use, secure, automated, flexible, and compliant.
