Retail companies have a huge target on their back when it comes to cybercrime. Hackers know that these businesses process a lot of sensitive information, such as customer credit card data. That's why it's so important for retail companies to take steps to protect themselves from cyberattacks.

The previous year saw many significant cybersecurity events. From ransomware attacks to large-scale data breaches, New Jersey companies and individuals learned some hard lessons about how to protect themselves online. Here are some of the biggest and most important cybersecurity lessons we have learned from 2021:

Remote endpoints need to be secured
It's now clear that remote work will continue to exist after 2022. According to Gartner, the hybrid work model will shift from being a temporary, force majeure response to a regularly seen arrangement across various industries.

Verkada (an Online Computers partner company) is one of the best camera providers in the United States, known for their artificial intelligence-powered analytics, proactive system alerts, and automated system updates. This is why New Jersey businesses trust Verkada enterprise surveillance and security systems for their office closed-circuit camera needs.

In the last decade, billions of people have had their information stolen from one, if not multiple, business sectors. Technology is constantly expanding, and with new technology comes new ways of hacking into seemingly secure data. As technology advances, people tend to forget about outdated technology and are lackadaisical about security. Outdated devices, human error, malware, and theft are all things that contribute greatly to the possibility of a data breach.

Unfortunately, malware is not a foreign term, in fact it’s pretty well known to anyone that uses a computer. There are several types of malware, as well as mediums in which you may receive it. So, before you click on that link for the free cruise you won, think about all of the personal data you could be giving away.

Most people are aware of terms like phishing and malware, but do you know those are a part of a larger scheme called social engineering? This is not a new kind of fraud, in fact it’s been used for many years to manipulate a wide range of people into giving up important data about themselves or workplace.

An organization’s readiness to respond to or recover from any IT security incident determines whether it will survive or shut down after a cyberattack. And with most companies adopting remote or hybrid work models, it’s even more challenging to prepare for cybersecurity incidents.

It has always been challenging for companies and individuals to stay compliant with the privacy standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The pandemic has only made it even more difficult to safeguard people’s protected health information (PHI) because healthcare and insurance professionals were forced to work from home.
