Whether your data is private customer information or published public data, you should strive to keep it protected. Cybersecurity attacks and data breaches are becoming more and more frequent and advanced. Just in 2015, there were over 2,000 confirmed breaches with known data loss. Six years later and that number has only increased. Even beyond that, data misconfigurations can happen at any point. System or network failures can result in catastrophic levels of lost data – an expensive and devasting loss. While a backup system can be costly, lost data is significantly more so. You cannot entirely avoid data hacks or system failures, but there are some practices you can implement to minimize these damages. A well-maintained backup system of your company’s data is the best practice you can have in the event of a disaster or breach. We will walk you through the best practices for managing your data backups so that you can find the best solution to protect your information.

While it is well worth the effort, working towards your ISO 27001 certification can be a lengthy process – and a complicated one at that. The purpose of this certification is to mitigate the risks already present within your organization to achieve an optimized standard of information security. One of the most significant aspects of this certification is conducting an internal audit which must be done within your organization to determine the current level of risk you are undertaking. Within this audit, you must prepare several documents outlining these risks, one of which is the risk treatment process in which you determine how you will treat each risk. While this is a crucial document within the ISO 27001 certification, it is often confused with the documentation produced as the result of the risk treatment plan. Both of these steps are crucial to the ISO certification, but how do they differ? We will discuss the critical differences between the risk treatment plan and the risk treatment process to ensure that you thoroughly and accurately complete each step of the ISO 27001 certification process.

Edge computing is a concept that brings cloud capabilities closer to an organization’s home database. In moving your cloud computing system to a more local environment, you can alleviate large amounts of data from your cloud provider. Additionally, edge computing can be deployed without additional infrastructure, providing your developers with the ability to move services and functions more efficiently. This brings many significant advantages, including reduced latency, faster data analysis, improve response time, and better bandwidth availability. Clearly, it is software worth considering, but it does come with challenges as well. We'll take you through the most prominent challenges of edge computing in addition to solutions to help you overcome them.

In fact, most companies downplay the importance of the statement, much to their detriment, thinking that it’s a duplication of their efforts in previous steps and documents, but this is not so. It’s far more than that. Technically, to be fair, all of the steps in the audit and certification process are equally important, but this step of defining the applicability of your choice in security controls is the connective process between planning and implementation.  Read more » Intertec International   4505 E Chandler Blvd Ste 245    Phoenix  AZ   85048    You received this email because you are subscribed to Intertec Blog Subscription from Intertec International.  Update your email preferences or unsubscribe from all future emails to choose the types of emails you receive.
