As we need to regularly monitor our health,  similarly, we need to monitor the security of our network too. By ignoring it,  it will give in and be compromised.

Let me begin with saying that it is not difficult to keep our network and data safe. Let us not be too overwhelmed and worried with the daily breaches that we hear. Like our physical health, it requires dedication to keep our network fit. If security management is incorporated in our daily routine, it will show wonderful results. Check your application and data, regularly, and see if they are all in a healthy condition.

Routine checkups can help find problems before they start or in their earlier stages where it is relatively easy to resolve. If you are unable to do so, the problem may spread to your complete network and can cause severe damage which may be very difficult to recover from. Ransomware showed how, if not limited, can even end up encrypting files on your file shares and affect not only the user who open the attachment, but everyone in the organisation.

Like your body, your security too requires regular maintenance. If you do not take care of it, you will end up making it easy for attackers to break it. Be in regular touch with experts who will help you in knowing the latest vulnerability and how to fix them. Keep your software updated and take regular backups of your critical data. Simple things, if done daily, can help improve health of your network and bring happiness to you in the new year.

Wish you a very happy and secure new year !!!
