Data breaches, break-ins, and employee theft are all serious issues your company may face. And remember, it only takes one physical or digital break-in to completely halt operations. It’s important that you have a solid security system, both for yourself and customers. Security cameras and online surveillance systems are a great way to start, so consider the following.

How to Increase Company Security

1. Security Cameras

Security cameras are a surefire way to catch any criminals in the act and to deter break-ins. They’ll capture any suspicious activity outside and monitor sensitive documents and items inside. Often, simply seeing a camera is enough to prevent employee theft or burglary. For the best results, consult with professionals about system step up and camera placement.

2. SD-WAN

It’s imperative that your computer system is protected. This network management tool provides real-time network monitoring and self-programmed cloud security measures. It uses a sophisticated detection system to capture threats, such as DDOS attacks, before they cause harm. It also includes general cyber security features, firewalls, and other digital protection tools so you can work with peace of mind anytime, anywhere.

3. Educate

Prevention begins with education. Opening phishing emails, sharing sensitive data, and not monitoring computers are common employee errors that lead to network security issues. Sit your employees down and share best practices. Make sure they never download attachments from suspicious emails or websites. They should never post any company information on personal sites or social media that hackers may monitor, and whether in public or at the office, employees should always lock their computers when they aren’t around.
