You see on the news all the time where large companies have gotten hacked. Small companies get hacked all the time too. Find out ways to protect yourself today on Cyber Sentinel. Welcome to Cyber Sentinel I'm Alan Adcock CEO of ASC Group and we're going to talk about steps to staying safe online and protecting your company's data. A couple of things in the news we've got a cybersecurity issue in Jackson County where they had to pay $400,000 in a ransom to get their data back. We'll talk about ways to prevent that and other risk to your data. We want to have your questions as well for future episodes so find us on social media at #CyberSentinel. Are there rules for keeping your data safe in the Cloud? There are definitely rules to look at for keeping data safe in the cloud. The cloud really is just an extension of the local network. So if your machine that you're using to access those Cloud resources is compromised they're gonna have access to that cloud resource as well. So keeping those machines clean and making sure that they don't have compromises on them is critical. Whether the servers are on site or in the cloud it doesn't really matter. Second thing to worry about with cloud based applications is the logins. On a local area network you've got your password management in the cloud. You have password management as well and it's super critical because those resources can be attacked 24/7 from anywhere in the world because they're cloud-based. So definitely need to make sure you have strong password policies. Make sure those passwords are changed frequently if the cloud resource offers something called two-factor authentication to FA or MFA multi-factor authentication. Definitely want to look at turning those on. That is the best way to make sure that your accounts are not being accessed by people other than you or authorized personnel.
