Human Resources In The Crosshairs
Introduction
HR departments have loads data, like:
- I-9 documents
- Names and addresses
- Insurance
- Payroll
- Social security numbers
- Medical data
Here are 8 things HR Managers must do now:
- Use complex passwords with phrases, numbers, digits, and symbols of at least 20 characters in length.
- So personnel does not have to memorize passwords, use a Password Manager
- Add multi-factor authentication as an extra layer of protection.
- Ensure your systems are up to date.
- Never operate using an Admin Account. If you’re breached, a hacker will have access to everything.
- Store documents only on company servers.
- Establish a Security Awareness Program for all employees. Humans are the weakest link —one errant click can bring down the entire network.
- Use a Business Continuity solution to protect your information.
Stay safe.
