Prevention is always the best medicine:

1.    Training employees on the proper methods for handling the devices, passwords and how to use the internet and cloud.

2.    Keeping current with operating systems and application software updates

3.    Having up-to-date antivirus and data breach software installed system wide.

4.    Practicing good computer habits, ie changing passwords and using complex passwords.

5.    Separations of duties

6.    Have “trusted” employees take at least a consecutives week off a year for vacation.

6.    Harm to reputation & goodwill

7.    Crisis Management and public relations costs
