Data Vaccination™ | 2. Device Security


In today’s society, Devices are how our businesses interconnect to share and consume data. All companies heavily rely on devices, and in a post covid world, many have gone to the virtual operation and work from home (WFH) , which is the new normal. 


Have you considered the significant security risk our devices are when left unprotected? Cyber Infections and viruses are running rapidly and aiming to steal data. Therefore, protecting your device from malware is essential.

Devices range from mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. Desktop and servers alike create an opportunity for malicious activities because they store private company critical information. For example, a user accidentally clicking a malicious email or visiting a compromised site offers a hacker opportunities to infiltrate or breach your network. 

Devices are used by hackers to access critical and sensitive information. With ransomware at the top of every security concern, devices need protection as equally as your data. 

The second layer of the Noftek Data Vaccination™ diagram focuses on your business devices. By focusing on the devices within your organization, we harden your security around the data.  

Our Data Vaccination™ process ensures the security of your devices through constant monitoring, detection, and response. Device security is an integral aspect of Data Integrity and a critical component in the Data Life Cycle. In addition, data Integrity applies to company device safety because your data will maintain its integrity with the device remaining un-compromised. 

Everyone’s device needs security through Data Vaccination™, no matter the business size or role in the company. Once company information is shared, the device needs to be protected; this approach will help mitigate any device breach. Even though PCs and workstations come with standard protection within the operating system, we must harden those devices to remove risk from our security stack. 

Maintaining data integrity is caring for your data, which secures your business. Having a simplified security protocol affords your peace of mind to focus on your clientele. In addition, ensuring your protocols are in place keeps you ahead of cyberattacks. Data Security does not have to be complicated. Our Data Vaccination™ mission keeps it simple and effective. 

Every Business Needs Security. Noftek Data Vaccination™ is an initiative to get protected by securing your data, making you a part of the movement to take proactive measures needed to protect your business’s success without sacrificing more of your time and interrupting productivity.
