Ethical hacking is the process of pushing the boundaries of an organization's security infrastructure in order to identify possible security threats and weaknesses. It is often used to find ways to improve a company's security, all with the consent of the organization.
Here are some suggestions to help improve cybersecurity:
- Implement two-factor authentication on all company accounts.
- Create an effective password policy, and enforce it by regularly auditing user accounts.
- Keep systems up-to-date with the latest security patches.
- Ensure all employee devices have up-to-date anti-virus and malware protection.
- Install and configure a firewall to protect your network.
- Encrypt sensitive data to protect it in the event of a security breach.
- Train staff and contractors on cyber security best practices.
