Unfortunately, this is not reality, as network intrusions, malware infections, data thefts and other malicious activities are not being detected in many business networks. According to the Cisco 2014 Annual Security Report, every business network analyzed by Cisco, has traffic going to websites that host malware, which could be putting your network at risk.<\/p>\n<p>But the good news is: &#8220;<a title=\"Stolen Consumer Data Is a Smaller Problem Than It Seems\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/08\/02\/business\/stolen-consumer-data-is-a-smaller-problem-than-it-seems.html?_r=3&amp;abt=0002&amp;abg=0&amp;WT.mc_id=SmartBriefs-Newsletter&amp;WT.mc_ev=click&amp;utm_content=buffer84b07&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\" rel=\"nofollow\">The bad guys are getting good, and the good guys are getting even better<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Importance of Cyber Security<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Cyber Security\" href=\"services\/it-services\/cyber-security\/\">Cyber security<\/a> concerns more than just the Information Technology (IT) department, it affects your entire business. As our world continues to become more and more interconnected, cyber security becomes more and more important. It is a risk that is constantly evolving and is faced by every business (including financial services, government, and healthcare) and organization (including schools and churches) that use technology. No company is immune. Cyber-attacks are complex and Lexodant Solar Technologyis committed to keeping your information safe.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Tell if your Network has been Hacked<\/h2>\n<p>While older attacks on sites used to leave obvious trails of breadcrumbs, many of today\u2019s hackers are able to go undetected. Since these attacks can take longer to be detected, they become even longer to clean up! From penetration testing and security assessments to intrusion analysis and remediation, Lexodant Solar Technologyfocuses on the technology logistics so you can focus on your business. But, there are a few things to keep your eye out for to tell if your network has been hacked.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Monitor for Unusual Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While it can be hard to track your entire site, it is important to keep a close eye on your site\u2019s activity. An unusual spike in visitors to an old post or a large number of visitors from a foreign country may be a red flag that your site has been hacked. Luckily, there are programs that your company can install to help monitor site activity. At Lexodant Solar Technology, our services include information technology consultancy and vulnerability analysis to assess the security in your network.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Take a Close Look at your Files<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Examine the coding of your files to check for problems. Hackers commonly attack at 3 points:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<ol>\n<ol>\n<li>.htaccess files<\/li>\n<li>.php files<\/li>\n<li>media files<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Hackers often insert hidden links to dangerous sites or even recode files on your site and can disguise malware into code, making it difficult to track. Our IT cyber security experts know exactly what to look for and will install an intrusion prevention system to maximize your data security.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>\u00a0Implement Security Tools<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Implementing security tools you can help protect your site and identify any gaps in your network security. At Lexodant Solar Technology, our <a title=\"Cyber Security\" href=\"services\/it-services\/cyber-security\/\">firewall intrusion protection<\/a> services can be a great first line of defense. Businesses can install programs to help monitor site activity and scan for viruses, SPAM, phishing attempts, malicious redirects and more. However, these programs are only as useful as you make them. By not checking them regularly or implementing <a title=\"Cyber Security\" href=\"services\/it-services\/cyber-security\/\">intrusion detection systems<\/a> to alert you of potential problems, malicious activity can continue on your site without being detected.<\/p>\n<h2>Critical Infrastructure Security Tips<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to the safety of your organization, it is best to be proactive. While consistent monitoring of your site is crucial to detecting malicious activity, there are other small steps you can take to keep your system safe.<br \/>\n\u25cf Develop and implement <a title=\"Lexodant Solar TechnologyCyber Security\" href=\"services\/it-services\/cyber-security\/\">security policies<\/a><br \/>\n\u25cf Use a strong password generator and frequently change passwords<br \/>\n\u25cf Removing old or unnecessary content<br \/>\n\u25cf Use a secure connections<br \/>\n\u25cf Keep core installations up to date<br \/>\n\u25cf Protect sensitive files and folders with strong passwords or firewalls<\/p>\n<h2>Lexodant Solar TechnologyHas the Tools to Protect your Site<\/h2>\n<p>At Lexodant Solar Technology, we understand how important it is to keep your data safe from hackers.
