- Ensure your security system features multiple layers

- Have a security policy that is clearly laid out and facilitates accountability
- Ensure important assets are under the highest security
- Get beyond traditional login protections; think “multifactor”
- Continuously and consistently monitor operations
Layers
I.T. support providers in Tulsa will likely relegate mobile devices to a specific portion of the network. This is done for several reasons. One, by isolating mobile devices it safeguards those areas of the network with more important data. Two, it can safeguard the mobile devices as well. Hackers know when they are dealing with a layered security system, and they know that this means spending more time and effort trying to create a breach— time that is better spent on mobile devices that are not protected by a layered security system, meaning that your mobile devices are less likely to be compromised.
Identity as a Service
IDaaS is becoming commonplace because it helps manage the security of your mobile devices proactively. IDaaS secures your operations centrally and facilitates convenient authentication protocols.
Clear Security Policies and Accountability
Newly on-boarded employees need to be appraised directly of your business’ security policies. Additionally, those who have been around for a while must be notified when new changes come down the line. If everybody knows what is expected of them, they’re more likely to have an attitude of security. For this to really work, you need to make employees accountable. Tell them what to do and ensure they’ve got a hand in doing it. With IDaaS and layered security, you’ll be able to tell who isn’t pulling their weight, and this can additionally help diminish security threats.
Secure Important Assets
Don’t let important business information be transferred. If it’s necessary for operations, make it possible to view from an internal server. But keep important data secured digitally like the man in a suit with handcuffs attaching a briefcase to his arm.
Multifactor Protection
Using a multifactor approach can help track devices in addition to putting an onus on employees to come up with a unique login/password combo.
Continual Monitoring
You’re not going to see anything unusual if you don’t look for anything unusual. So make a consistent practice of continuously monitoring operations across your network.
