Protection of the FINUS ERP System
When developing the system, ensuring security and resistance to known cyber threats is a given. However, with the continuous emergence of sophisticated threats that come with modern technologies, additional system protection is essential.
Enhancing the Security of the Operating Information System
Such protections include, for example, endpoint security solutions, which incorporate antivirus software, firewalls, update packages, and more. Additionally, it is important not to forget to regularly upgrade hardware and software, which significantly contributes to the security of the operating information system.
Endpoint Security Protection
Every computer connected to the internet or a corporate network is exposed to potential threats and therefore requires real-time protection against these risks. Endpoint security solutions provide such protection by safeguarding devices not only with integrated antivirus protection but also against ransomware, malware, spam, and more. If such real-time protection is unavailable and timely action is not taken, a virus on one infected computer connected to the corporate network could gradually spread to other computers and servers in the network.
It is recommended to monitor the activity of endpoint security software on individual devices regularly through a central management console.
Next-Generation Firewall / Security Gate
The rapid development of technology has also led to new, sophisticated cyberattacks. Traditional firewalls, which we have relied on in the past, no longer provide sufficient protection against ZeroDay attacks.
Next-generation firewalls, in addition to standard protection (controlling incoming information from the internet or corporate network and either blocking or allowing access based on firewall settings), also protect the perimeter of the corporate network from sophisticated cyber threats with integrated tools such as IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), AntiBot, AntiVir, Application Control, and more.
Next-generation firewalls help prevent attackers or malicious code from accessing servers or computers through the corporate network or the internet and are recommended as a key part of cyber protection.
Update Packages / Updates
Software manufacturers constantly work on improving and fixing errors in their software. Therefore, careful administrators and users should pay attention to software updates within the corporate network.
In many cases, updating the operating system ensures higher compatibility with other applications, fixes security vulnerabilities, and more. It is therefore recommended to perform regular updates of operating systems and software.
Hardware and Software Upgrades
New technologies, both hardware and software, evolve rapidly and are constantly improving. A server or computer that is several years old, running an outdated operating system, may still function externally but may be less resistant to new cyber threats.
Manufacturers eventually stop providing support and compatibility for outdated hardware and software, significantly reducing their resistance to new cyber threats. It is therefore recommended to regularly upgrade hardware and software at regular intervals. For servers, an upgrade interval of every 5-6 years is recommended.
