Host 2: 00:32 Hello everyone. Welcome to “On The Net,” where it’s all about your online presence. Thanks for joining us! This podcast is designed to make doing business online easy for web designers, developers, bloggers and online businesses of every shape and size. Whether you are new to buying web hosting or running a website, this podcast show will be able to answer your most burning questions. Every business and individual should be vigilant about online security. Businesses are especially vulnerable because they store an ever-increasing volume of user data on their servers. Small to medium businesses are as likely as large enterprises to suffer from data breaches. While bigger organizations have the financial muscle, resources and skill to overcome setbacks from a cyber-attack, small businesses often lack the security personnel and expertise needed to protect sensitive data in the first place or to recover from any breach should they be targeted.
Host 2: 01:28 Sadly, regardless of size, every business will suffer a consumer trust set-back as the result of a cyber hack. The good news is that there are simple measures that can be undertaken by any business owner to protect data from being compromised and to thwart attacks. In today’s podcast episode we’re going to explore 5 things that you can do to protect against hackers. First, Apply Encryption Software. Today, encrypting your own confidential information and your customers’ sensitive data files is an important step to protecting against hackers or theft. In fact, in order to be in compliance with various federal and state laws, businesses must encrypt confidential data to protect their customers. Modern encryption software uses algorithms to create nearly uncrackable ciphers of unintelligible, encoded characters, so that the data being transferred online is hidden. There are many encryption software applications available for businesses. Ideally these solutions should feature 256 bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption algorithm, on-the-fly encryption to enable easy working with encrypted files such as plain text files, easy cloud backup for multiple encrypted files to allow secure storage, keylogger protection for access to safes/vault container files with passwords, and a easily navigable user-friendly interface to make encoding confidential files an intuitive exercise. Online businesses should consider adding an extra layer of security through HTTPS and if using FTP software, it is advisable to switch to SFTP.
