Why Regular Security Audits Are Critical for Your Agency’s Protection

As we wrap up Cybersecurity Awareness Month, there’s one last topic we need to discuss—regular security audits. Cyber threats are always evolving, which means the security measures that protected your insurance agency last month or even last week might not be enough to keep you safe today.

In this post, Brad Ruben from Archway Computer explains why scheduling regular security audits is essential for staying ahead of cybercriminals and protecting your agency’s valuable data.

What is a Security Audit?

A security audit is a comprehensive review of your agency’s cybersecurity practices and systems. During an audit, we look for outdated software, weak passwords, unpatched vulnerabilities, and any other risks that could expose your agency to cyber threats. Regular audits ensure that your security protocols are up to date and capable of defending against the latest cyberattacks.

Why You Need Regular Security Audits

Cyber threats are constantly changing. New vulnerabilities are discovered every day, and hackers are always finding more sophisticated ways to break into systems. That’s why what worked last year or even last month might not be effective today. If your agency is relying on outdated security practices, you could be at risk of a breach.

By conducting regular security audits, you can stay ahead of these evolving threats. A thorough audit helps you identify any weaknesses in your systems so you can address them before they become a problem. It’s not just about fixing issues after an attack—it’s about proactively protecting your business.

What We Check During a Security Audit

When you schedule a security audit with Archway Computer, we leave no stone unturned. Here’s what we typically assess:

  • Outdated Software: Running old software can leave your agency vulnerable to attacks. We’ll ensure that everything is up to date with the latest security patches.
  • Weak Passwords: Simple or reused passwords are an open door for hackers. We help you implement strong, unique passwords across all your accounts.
  • Unpatched Vulnerabilities: Even small vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals. We look for any unpatched areas that need immediate attention.
  • Overall Risk Assessment: From email security to network firewalls, we analyze every part of your system to identify any hidden risks.

Protect Your Agency with Regular Audits

Regular security audits are a vital part of maintaining a strong cybersecurity defense. Without them, your agency could be at risk of falling behind on the latest security measures, leaving your data vulnerable. Archway Computer can help ensure your agency’s systems are secure, up-to-date, and protected from the latest cyber threats.

As Cybersecurity Awareness Month comes to a close, take the time to schedule a security audit and protect your agency from future risks. Don’t let outdated software or weak passwords be your downfall.
