What Happens When You Receive a Security Alert?
Security alerts are an integral part of any information technology system. By delivering warnings before potential breaches occur, they keep sensitive information secure and infrastructures intact — but what good is an alert if personnel are not well-trained on response requirements?
Unfortunately, far too many organizations train their teams on security alert protocols only after suffering an attack. By this point, the company and its sensitive information are already vulnerable and subject to criminal acts, risking financial and other important losses. Training your team on proper incident response should be a core objective of the IT department. This will not only protect your company from the obvious losses that could occur, but can also provide some significant benefits:
- Some insurance companies offer discounts to companies that demonstrate quick and cost-effective strategies for handling attacks.
- Customers will feel more comfortable doing business with you — particularly important in high-risk industries like Financial Services.
- Employee satisfaction can increase when workers feel their sensitive employment information is in good hands.
What are your options for training your IT department on these essential functions? Some companies choose to fumble through the process on their own, using trial and error to discover the best strategies. Unfortunately, this can result in a chain of incidents where companies are vulnerable for too long — leaving IT teams stressed and executives concerned. Many other companies choose to enroll their teams in training courses by professionals who have already put the time and effort into studying and pinpointing the best pathways to coordinate and execute responses to security alarms. This is the recommended method, and Atrion is at the forefront of the industry.
