Hackers are gaining access to large and small businesses alike. “But what would they want with my data?” You don’t want to risk finding out, on the other side of an attack.

But what if we could take the steps to prevent an attack in the first place? These are our tried and true three steps to secure your networks and protect against hackers.
Step 1: Identify the vulnerabilities in your network
To protect yourself against hackers, you have to understand your current network environment and its vulnerabilities. The best and most cost-effective way to do this is with a vulnerability scan. This establishes a baseline of the vulnerabilities on your network and provides you with valuable information to assess the risks and prioritize next steps to secure your network.
