With remote working and cloud usage taking over, the cyber risk landscape is expanding continually. This is because criminals are getting increasingly sophisticated with their attack tactics. Every business or individual relying on the use of technology is in ardent need of adopting advanced password security measures to combat such malicious efforts. Password security measures should be centered around password creation security, using a password vault, and scanning all vulnerabilities of storing passwords in browsers and other vulnerable applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel files.
Data vulnerability followed by a subsequent breach results in monetary losses and risks the overall brand name. Hence, enterprises heavily deploy advanced security tools or partner with service providers who can protect all their sensitive accounts that hold personal client or company data.
Darkweb Monitoring
With credentials being sold on the dark web, regularly monitoring of all processes is critical to enterprise security. In the worst-case scenarios, the client is not even aware of where the credentials are being sold.

The prompter the realization and response, the lesser is the loss. The continuous monitoring process shrinks the window of opportunity that criminals have to make copies of the private data and sell it for a fortune.ComputerDoctor’s advanced technologies prevent the threat of confidential data loss by constant monitoring to maximize the response effort and minimize the damage caused.
Constant Updates
Constant updates across all systems are critical to building resilient and healthy business operations. Updates undertake a lot of responsibilities to assure fixing and repairing security holes discovered over a period of time. Regularly scanning for computer bugs, Windows and drivers updates is critical for minimizing all risky factors.
In short, technology is evolving and advancing with each passing day and to keep up with such a massive pace of change, it is recommended to continue chasing the new features with system updates, thus ensuring that your operating system and applications are running the latest and safest version.
