Russian Cyberattacks on Critical Infrastructure: What You Can Do to Protect Yourself

March 23, 2022

Cyber Security

It’s been revealed that Russia is exploring options for potential cyberattacks to target U.S critical infrastructure, including our power grid, water facilities, and even our airports. This is a huge threat, and we need to do everything we can to protect ourselves. The White House is urging private organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses to prevent any future breaches or attacks on our country’s most valuable assets: its people.

If you’re concerned about Russian hackers targeting you specifically, read on for tips on how to protect yourself.

As much of the U.S.’s critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector, the administration is urging private companies to take the following steps immediately to protect the critical services.

How to Protect your Critical Services?

Mandate the use of multi-factor authentication on systems to make it harder for attackers to gain access. To do this, deploy modern security tools and check with cybersecurity professionals about patching policies as well as default usernames/passwords across networks so they are useless if hackers attempt any sort of attack or infiltration into your company’s data center where servers reside that store sensitive information such as credit card numbers.
If you want to be able to protect your data, then offline backups must be done regularly and properly.
The best way to avoid an emergency situation – is by being prepared, and having a business continuity plan in place. Create exercises that teach you how to respond quickly, practice these responses often so they become second nature when needed most.
Encrypt data to prevent its use if it is ever stolen.
Employees need to be aware of common tactics that attackers use when trying to get into your computer or phone. If you’re experiencing any strange behavior such as crashes, slow operation, etc., it would be great to report this information immediately, therefore, your IT / Security company can investigate.

In closing, cyber and security issues will always be on the rise as long as we live in a technology-growth environment. The answer is not to ignore the signs, it’s to create a preventative maintenance plan. Think of your security maintenance as your everyday hygiene. The more you take care of your hygiene, the fewer visits to the doctor, and lowering emergency visits. What we focus on as the input, always becomes the output.

Please be safe, and if you need any assistance – SecurityRI is here to assist!

Top 5 Physical Security Threats of 2022: What to Look Out For

March 21, 2022

Security Best Practices for Businesses

As we move further into the 21st century, the world becomes an increasingly dangerous place. With new technologies and ways for criminals to exploit them, it’s more important than ever to be aware of the physical security threats that could affect your business in 2022. In this blog post, we will discuss five of the most likely physical security threats that your business will face in the next few years. Stay safe!

The top five security threats detected in 2022 are workplace violence, crime/theft, natural disasters, biosecurity, and the push to move employees completely remote.

Workplace Violence

Workplace violence is always a security concern, but with the current political and social climate, we will likely see an increase in violence in the workplace. In 2022, employers should be on the lookout for signs of potential workplace violence and take steps to prevent it.

Physical security and preventative measures can assist when reducing workplace violence. Some security solutions to consider are security cameras, security guards, and panic buttons. Having a security protocol in place will help keep your business secure, while

Crime and Theft

Crime and theft are always major concerns for businesses, but as technology advances, so do the ways criminals can exploit it. In 2022, businesses should be particularly aware of cybercrime and data breaches. Physical security measures like security cameras and alarms are still important, but they must be backed up by strong cyber security measures. SecurityRI can assist with multiple security service integrations. Our philosophy is to provide a complete security solution – and by crossing all our divisions throughout each other, it assists our clients with the ultimate peace of mind.

Natural Disasters

Natural disasters can strike at any time, and often without warning. Businesses should have a plan in place for how to deal with natural disasters, as well as security measures to protect their employees and property. In 2022, we will likely see an increase in natural disasters due to climate change.

Some security measures you can take to prepare for natural disasters are installing security cameras that can withstand extreme weather conditions, having a backup power source, and investing in flood insurance.

Biosecurity

With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging on in 2022, biosecurity will continue to be a major concern. Businesses should take steps to protect their employees from the virus, as well as any other potential diseases that could spread.

Some security measures you can take to protect against disease are providing employees with personal protective equipment, increasing cleaning and disinfecting procedures, and implementing temperature checks.

The Push to Move Employees Completely Remote

With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing into 2022, many businesses will be forced to move their employees completely remote. This poses a whole new set of security concerns, as businesses will need to find ways to secure their data and prevent cyber attacks.

Some security measures you can take to protect your business when moving employees remote are investing in a VPN, using two-factor authentication, and encrypting all data.

As the dynamic of work changes, the way we approach security has to change too.

Physical security tools:

Security cameras, security guards, and access control systems are important but not enough on their own. To be fully protected, businesses need to take a holistic security approach that encompasses all aspects of security: cyber, physical, and people.
