Endpoint Encryption and Security
Endpoint device encryption is crucial to ensure that potential attackers do not find easy ways into your network. With more employees now working remotely and using their own devices, it is important that businesses consider this as part of their overall security plan.
Much like computers, printers are connected to the internet, so businesses need to ensure that they too have the latest security and protection measures. Kyocera’s latest range of print devices utilises encryption to ensure that any data stored on the device can not be easily accessed or read. In combination with an effective firewall solution, remote workers and IT managers can feel safe in the knowledge that they are taking every measure to secure their network.
Essential 8 standard is fundamental for any business aiming to strengthen its security
The Essential 8 framework is a set of eight fundamental cybersecurity strategies developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) to help protect digital assets and reduce cyber risks. These strategies include:
|
1. Application whitelisting
| 
|
5. Restricting administrative privileges
|
|
2. Patching applications
|
|
6. Patching operating systems
|
|
3. Configuring Microsoft Office macro settings
| 
|
7. Implementing multi-factor authentication
|
|
4. User application hardening
| 
|
8. Conducting daily backups
|
By implementing these measures, businesses can establish a strong baseline for their cybersecurity practices, significantly mitigating exposure to common threats such as malware, ransomware, and data breaches.
An Essential 8 assessment evaluates an organisation's current cybersecurity posture against this framework, scoring each strategy from 0 (non-compliant) to 3 (fully compliant). This assessment provides a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses, helping to prioritise areas for improvement. For businesses, this assessment is critical as it not only highlights vulnerabilities but also guides the enhancement of cybersecurity measures. By regularly conducting Essential 8 assessments, businesses can ensure continuous improvement of their defences, maintain regulatory compliance, and safeguard sensitive information.
This proactive approach is more cost-effective and efficient than responding to cyber incidents after they occur, ultimately protecting a business's reputation and operational resilience.
