Safeguard Your Gold Mine From Cyber Theft

CISP’s security recommendations are as follows:
> To protect your catalog’s data that’s accessible via the Internet, install and maintain a working network firewall.
> Keep your company’s security patches up to date.
> Encrypt both your stored data that’s accessible from the Internet and data sent across public networks.
> Utilize and regularly update your anti-virus software.
> Restrict access to company data only to those who absolutely must have it.
> Assign a unique identification password to each person who has computer access to your data; then instruct your IT department to keep careful logs on who comes in and out of those data storehouses.
> Avoid using vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters.
> Regularly test your IT department’s security systems and processes.
