Computer & Network Security - Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States
Founded with years of development and experience, Omnicron focuses on a holistic approach to small business cybersecurity. The process begins with a penetration test of the companies network, followed with a physical office audit and finally an engaging educational program with employees, the weakest link in cyber security. Small businesses are easy targets for cyber criminals and do not have access to the tools and solutions available to the enterprise market. Unfortunately 43% of cyber attacks are directed at small businesses and 60% of those close their doors within one year. Penetration testing is the first step in identifying all assets that are connected to the network and testing for current exploits help ensure the systems are secure. Validation of antivirus and malware subscriptions and backup policies are an important component of a comprehensive cyber security strategy. The physical examination of an office reveals passwords taped to monitors, important documents in plain site or in waste bins and finally, locked storage for sensitive areas such as server closets and file cabinets. Employee education is the final and most important step in a secure cyber environment. A full 95% of cyber incidents are due to human error and no matter how sophisticated a firm's security posture is, one click can circumvent everything. An engaging, updated educational program is needed to keep employees vigilant of all types of schemes that can compromise their company.
