What’s the Word Wednesday: Firewall

A firewall helps protect your business network by controlling what traffic is allowed in and out. Think of it as one of the first lines of defense between your systems and unwanted access.

Firewalls are an important part of a larger cybersecurity strategy, along with strong passwords, MFA, updates, employee training, and ongoing monitoring.

What’s the Word Wednesday: Patch Management

Patch management is the process of keeping software and systems up to date so known security weaknesses can be addressed, bugs can be corrected, and performance can stay on track.

For businesses, regular patching is an important part of reducing risk and keeping technology reliable behind the scenes.

What’s the Word Wednesday: RPO

RPO stands for Recovery Point Objective, or how much data your business can afford to lose if an outage, cyberattack, or other disruption occurs.

Understanding your RPO helps determine how frequently your data should be backed up and plays an important role in building a recovery plan that fits your business.

What’s the Word Wednesday: Incident Response

A cybersecurity incident is stressful enough. Figuring out what to do next shouldn’t happen in the middle of the crisis.

An incident response plan helps your business know how to contain the issue, protect critical systems, communicate with the right people, and begin recovery as quickly as possible.

Having that plan in place before something happens can make a major difference in how well your business responds.
