FAQs
What is managed DNS security, and why does my business need it?
The Domain Name System (DNS) converts human-readable website urls into the digit-heavy IP addresses that navigate the World Wide Web. Think of it as caller ID in reverse: An address typed into a web browser is sent to global DNS servers that tell the browser how to reach its destination.
DNS hijacking redirects a browser to a destination other than the original request. 79% of surveyed businesses experienced a DNS attack in 2020. Traditional DDoS attacks comprised 27% of DNS attacks and increased in size with 64% over 5 Gbit/s. As a result, 82% experienced application downtime, both in-house and in cloud environments. The average cost of a DNS attack totaled $924,000. 77% of companies recognize DNS security as a critical component of their network architecture, and yet 25% do not analyze DNS traffic.
NexusTek’s Standard Plan features managed DNS security, providing Cisco Umbrella’s cloud-delivered enterprise network security per user. Cisco Umbrella essentially establishes a traffic officer to intercept the original address request and determine if the destination is safe or authorized. Some business devices do not allow traffic to certain websites during work hours. Organizations can also block traffic to malicious websites so that threat actors cannot redirect requests and download malware onto the device.
What is a cybersecurity health check and review, and why is it important?
Businesses should assess their security health at least once every year, and yet 43% of surveyed companies did not perform one in 2020. Perhaps that is why 78% lack confidence in their company’s cybersecurity posture. Technologies are continuously advancing, and cybercriminals are well-funded and incentivized to find new, sophisticated techniques to circumvent security defenses. By 2025, cybercrime is expected to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually.
NexusTek’s Cybersecurity Solutions plans all include a security health check and review to assess the health of your company’s security posture and recommend tailored solutions to improve cyber defenses. Our IT experts consult with our clients on the business needs and solutions optimized for their goals and the requirements of their particular industry. Each market has its own compliance regulations and privacy laws, and NexusTek consultants work with your business to increase security and avoid penalties.
Whether you are a healthcare organization concerned with the intricacies of HIPAA surrounding protected health information (PHI) or a precision agriculture business managing the security of vast data volumes from a multitude of IoT devices, NexusTek cybersecurity consultants will map out security gaps to improve defenses and lower risks. Your business’ security score will continue to increase over the course of your relationship with us.
What is security awareness training, and why is it important for my business?
A business’ greatest liability is its own employees. In 2020, 85% of breaches involved a human element, and 80% were discovered by external parties. Employees are susceptible to social engineering cyberattacks, which manipulate vulnerable people into sharing sensitive information in emails, phone calls, texts, and more. Cybercriminals can collect information about an individual from the web, such as a Facebook page or LinkedIn profile, to make the social engineering attack more believable.
With such easy targets, cybercriminals do not focus on complex hacking techniques but social engineering. Cybercriminals often capitalize on trends and current events. As such, 2020 saw an increase of phishing attacks by 11%, exploiting people’s fear of COVID-19 to reveal personal information. The cost of a social engineering attack averages $130,000 in stolen money or lost data.
Security awareness training empowers individuals with tips and tricks to spot cyberattacks and avoid a security breach. Training is the best investment a company can make to protect their highest risk asset. According to KnowBe4, nearly nine in 10 businesses say security awareness training has helped to decrease overall computer security risk. However, only three in 10 employees receive cybersecurity training. NexusTek’s Standard Plan package provides monthly security awareness training from KnowBe4 to ensure every employee in your organization is on the lookout for cyberattacks.
What is cybersecurity questionnaire consultation, and how does my business benefit from it?
Your business may receive a cybersecurity questionnaire from a client or vendor. The questionnaire assesses your security and privacy posture. It encompasses networks, applications, physical and digital data, and more. Whether it is a new customer or a longtime client, your organization will want to provide a detailed inventory of security measures to classify as a cybersecurity resilient business.
If applying for cybersecurity liability insurance (and with 91% of small to medium-sized businesses without it, it is possible your business has yet to invest in this vital protection), a cybersecurity questionnaire will also be required.
NexusTek’s IT consultants work with your organization to understand the ins and outs of the questionnaire and properly fill it in to generate revenue or lower your insurance premium.
