We have summarized the most important points on how you can better protect yourself and your company in the area of cyber security in our Quick wins.
- Private devices should be considered compromised, and therefore the business use of private devices should be avoided.
- If this is not possible, the use of external boot media must be checked
- Disable Office Macros
- If this is not possible, macro signing should be used
- Is a collaboration solution sufficient or is a full VPN necessary?
- If a VPN is used, it should end up in a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
- Use of a 2-factor authentication (but at least for external services such as VPN and WebMailer)
- Setting up a hard disk encryption
- Optimal with pre-boot authentication, e.g. 6-8 digit pin or token
- Separate user accounts (Admin and User
- Avoidance of inspection by third parties (e.g. use of a privacy film in the web)
- Use of interface monitoring, whereby only controlled removable media can be used and USB worms can be avoided
- Use a password manager to avoid single and/or multiple passwords (e.g. KeePass)
- Increased monitoring on systems that are primarily used by home office users (e.g. VPN endpoint, terminal jump server, etc.)
- Regular updates of laptop, mobile phone and third-party software, which are often forgotten (e.g. Adobe Reader, Media Player, Internet Browser)
