Companies face a lot of risks and vulnerability when it comes to businesses including phishing as this is an online threat which can lead to companies to go through financial losses as well as the consumers losses. Another would be the ransomware and malware; ransomware can lead the entire business to be at a loss of financial problems and more. Malware is what leads to computer damage, and this allows hackers to gain access to personal and the financial information of that company. Some policies that can help to reduce a networks compromise would be the encryption because this helps to stop any hackers from gaining access or even seeing the company’s important information. Another is the firewall which is a big one because it helps keep the phishing attacks down to a controllable level. The firewall is basically a shield between the company’s device and an attack.
