Top 10 Cybersecurity Tips from Mango
What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the protection of information, networks, systems, and processes from the risk of theft or malicious damage.
Today, businesses collect, use, and store an unprecedented amount of information on their customers and business operations. Time and time again there are stories in the news of security breaches causing customer information to be stolen from a business, something no business ever wants to have to navigate their way through.
Some industries and businesses are governed by regulatory requirements when it comes to cybersecurity. Additionally, there is legislation in place which protects consumers and the personal information that they exchange online.
What is an Information Security Management System?
An information security management system (ISMS) will outline and evidence an organization’s approach to information security. The system’s primary purpose is to manage the information security and data protection risks to your organization, as well as ensuring ongoing compliance with information security requirements.
