5 Ways To Protect Your Server From Networking Attacks

We live in an age of near constant network vulnerability. Unfortunately, our reliance on online resources also happens to be our greatest weakness, which means that there is nothing more important than IT security for tech and Internet businesses.
It is not just hacking attacks which can pose a threat, because disaster can strike in a hundred different ways. Whilst the majority of enterprises focus their IT security on network invasion from hostile sources, it can be as dangerous to disregard the possibility of fires, floods, system failures, and hacking from the inside. Here are five ways that you can protect your server from networking attacks.
Conduct Inventories – this is something all network managers should do on a regular basis. If you do not know which tech resources could be lost, there is no real way to assess the extent of the damage in the wake of a meltdown.
Prioritise Assets – once an inventory has identified all servers, you need to prioritise them according to the needs of your business. This step is designed to make it clear which assets are most valuable, so that you can get them back up and running as soon as possible, after an attack.
Perform Scans – this is another step which network managers should already be familiar with. The best way to perform scans is to schedule them for the end of the day, so that disruption to staff is minimised. If security issues are flagged, take the necessary time and care needed to assess the threat.
Integrate Security – unfortunately, IT security is no one time job. It is something which should be seamlessly integrated into your online operations. It is important to deal with update requirements in a timely fashion – resist the temptation to push them to the side, to be handled at a later date.
IT Security Testing – There are many IT security/ethical hacking companies that can offer a range of services from an annual vulnerability scan to a full penetration test. Services like these can prevent loss of data and reputation damage, by pro actively identifying security threats.
