[China Glass Network] How SMEs Deal with Cyber ​​Threats
Network security construction must have a long-term vision, and it is not possible to deliberately deploy security solutions just for the immediate threats.
Spam, viruses, spyware, and discomfort can disrupt business operations. These rapidly evolving threats are hidden in e-mail and web pages and spread quickly over the network, consuming limited network and system resources. To guard against these threats, you need to invest in network security. However, the current economic situation has made many SMEs face survival challenges, the reduction of IT investment, the shortage of professionals and other factors, compared with large enterprises, so that SMEs are more helpless in dealing with cyber threats.
Even with limited investment, the network security needs of SMEs are no less than that of large enterprises. In reality, SMEs often have higher requirements for convenient management and rapid service response. So how do small and medium-sized enterprises build a sound network security system with limited investment? Try these few tricks below.
Back to the front: gateway protection is twice the result with half the effort
Endangered internal viruses, spyware from external networks, and virus attacks make the days of relying solely on a single security product to ensure the security and stability of the entire network are gone. In response to the current new Web threats, it is more efficient to use security products built at the gateway to intercept them before they enter the corporate network. For small and medium-sized enterprises, choose a gateway security device that is comprehensive, easy to manage and deploy. It can not only scan and filter all kinds of web traffic content in the previous time, but also greatly reduce the load of each application server host.
For example, Trend Micro's IGSA includes anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering, anti-spyware, anti-phishing, anti-zombie protection and URL filtering services, and can be centrally managed and managed through log reports. The security of network operations is clear at a glance, greatly reducing the workload of information security management.
The second measure: use "cloud security" to avoid the pressure of memory upgrade
At present, the security of SME intranets cannot be ignored, and it is required to centrally manage and protect internal desktop computers. Today, when cyber threats soar, updating the virus code becomes a must-have job every day, but the process of traditional code comparison technology is causing a sharp drop in the effectiveness of killing viruses. The cloud security solution launched by Trend Micro goes beyond the virus sample analysis and processing mechanism, analyzes and sorts the massive information sources on the Internet through the cloud server group, and saves the high-risk information source to the cloud database. When the user accesses, the real-time query is obtained. The security level of the information source can block the high-risk information in time, so that the user's frequent update of the virus code becomes history.
At present, the number of users on the desktop side is five times that of the number of gateway protection users. Desktop protection is also an indispensable means at this stage, but it is required to reduce the update burden and enhance management convenience. In this regard, Trend Micro's Office Scan, by applying newer cloud security technologies, makes desktop-side protection no longer dependent on virus pattern updates, reducing bandwidth and memory resource usage and stress.
The third measure: security services save management costs
The cost of network security management occupies a certain proportion in the entire network security solution. If the theory of three-point technology and seven-point management is used to explain, the cost is obviously higher. How can we achieve the goal of safety management under the limited conditions of professional managers? SMEs can use the expert technical support of security vendors to ensure network security operations efficiently and professionally. That is to use external forces to manage their own network security devices, which will cost less than the training of their own managers, and the effect is better.
At present, many vendors including Trend Micro provide such services.
The fourth measure: cultivate safety awareness once and for all
For network security, in addition to the lag of security technology, the weak awareness of internal employees is also an important factor. The emergence of a large number of cyber threats is closely related to the improper operation of employees' applications, such as random access to websites with malicious code, downloading and using e-mail to send attachments with viruses, and not updating virus patterns. Therefore, the organization of network security knowledge training is also essential, management must also develop a comprehensive network security strategy.
Network security construction must have a long-term vision. It is not only possible to deploy security solutions for the immediate threats. Only by comprehensive consideration of hardware, software, and services, and selecting strong security solutions, can we provide low-cost and high-quality protection. cyber security.
