As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and more companies evidentially become breached, it is imperative to sit down and develop an endpoint security strategy. Endpoint security protects your company’s endpoint devices (PCs, workstations, tablets, phones, servers, etc.) from malicious threats that can greatly impact your company’s data and infrastructure. While many companies have different needs, there are five essentials that should be included in your strategy to ensure the highest functionality in your endpoint protection system.
Are you looking at ways to increase effectiveness in the way your team communicates and collaborates within your organization? As mobile workforces continue to evolve in companies, this question is becoming more prominent. There are many applications out there that can help achieve communication and collaboration, however there is one that stands above the rest. In 2016, Microsoft added a new tool to its robust Office 365 suite lineup.
Is your company currently using Windows 7? If so, it’s time to consider upgrading or even replacing your organization’s workstations to be on Windows 10. Once Microsoft ends support on January 14, 2020, operating systems that are still using Windows 7 will be vulnerable to cybersecurity threats including viruses, zero-day exploits, ransomware, malware and spyware. Microsoft will no longer be providing the security updates/patches that they normally do when a cyber-threat emerges.
Despite Microsoft’s commitment to officially end extended support for the ever popular Windows 7 operating system on January 14, 2020 – there is a critical Microsoft patch that will be made available for Windows 7 machines on March 12, 2019. If administrators aren’t diligent in applying the important March 12 update, it could mean the end of Microsoft updates for Windows 7 computers.

LeadingAge CAST has released a new white paper and free benchmarking questionnaire today that can be used in tandem to help providers identify risk, protect against threats, and respond if attacked. The paper and benchmarking questionnaire will help providers to think through concerns related to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) rules; analyze risks based on assessment and expert data on common threats; identify and implement best-practices and management techniques; develop a plan following a cybersecurity assessment; and understand, broadly, options and approaches to protect their data and technology infrastructure.
