Companies today face many cybersecurity risks such as phishing, malware, ransomware, insider threats and data breaches. These attacks can lead to stolen data, financial loss, and even damage to reputation. One major vulnerability comes from weak passwords, unpatched systems and lack of employee awareness. To reduce these risks, organizations should create strong security policies, such as enforcing multifactor authentication, using firewalls and antivirus protection and regular updating software. Employee training is also critical to help staff recognize suspicious emails or links. Companies should perform regular security audits and backups to recover data in case of an attack. Having an incident response plan ensures a quick reaction to any breach. By combining organizations can greatly lower their chances of network compromise and protect sensitive data from modern cyber threats.
