Encrypt data and update software regularly<br />
Data encryption is when data is translated to a unique code or language that requires a key to understand<br />
it. A password can also be used with data encryption. Even when a data breach occurs, the hackers will<br />
not be able to understand the data without the key. Your company can decide who has access to the<br />
key, which reduces the risk of hackers gaining the key and increases accountability when/if something<br />
goes wrong.<br />
Updating your software regularly will also ensure that you have the best and most reliable systems. Using<br />
older software makes your equipment vulnerable to these attacks. There are also programs that check<br />
your software to make sure everything stays up to date.<br />
Create an emergency plan<br />
Having an actionable plan in place <strong>for</strong> a potential cyber attack ensures all employees know what to do to<br />
solve the situation properly and efficiently. Being transparent and in<strong>for</strong>ming customers what could happen<br />
with their in<strong>for</strong>mation also helps the customer place trust in your company.<br />
No matter how small or large your business, you should take every step to prevent a data breach, and<br />
this includes preparing <strong>for</strong> the worst. From financial loss to reputation management, the long-term fallout<br />
of a data breach can be devastating—especially if you don’t have safeguards and a recovery plan in<br />
place. To bounce back from the possible long-term impacts of a data breach, it is important to identify<br />
what went wrong and implement policies that prevent this from happening again.<br />
