If we asked random people about cybersecurity measures, the antivirus and the firewall would be the two most named.

The antivirus scans all the files and documents we use for threats such as viruses, malware, ransomware, etc.

The firewall acts in a similar way, but with the network, scanning the packages we receive and send, protecting us from intruders and other threats.

Although these 2 measures are very useful, in a company they are not enough, there are other security measures, both internal and external, that we must also adopt in addition to antivirus and firewalls.

Here are some of the best known, take note:

Antispam. Measures against spam are very necessary, because currently 80% of Internet threats reach the company's systems through the employees' email.

Virtual Private Networks (VPN). Virtual tunnels created through the network to isolate and protect communications.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS / IDPS). They are devices that monitor the company's systems and generate alarms if suspicious behavior patterns are detected.

Analysis and prevention of web vulnerabilities. In the event that we have a web App, it is also important to protect against attacks, as a hacker could gain access to private company data if it exploits a vulnerability.

End Point Layer Security. Measures that prevent the execution of suspicious programs and services, restrict privileges and reduce the probability of infection of the systems.

Honeypots. False vulnerabilities put on purpose to gather information about attacks on our company.

Having a specialized and professional team, effective and trustworthy is the important added value, since this team can be aware of the threats and resolve them in the stipulated time.

The technical team that works with the company's systems has to have high technical knowledge, both of the systems themselves and their security and renew their knowledge every bit, because the threats are very changing and you always have to be Ready for the latest.
