Seventy percent of cyberattacks on companies come from disgruntled or disloyal employees, so the Civil Guard advises controlling access keys to the entity's computer system and reviewing them whenever there is a change in staff.
The Civil Guard has made a series of recommendations to make the security of computer equipment more effective for companies and private Internet users, within the framework of the meeting between Ibero-American police officers FIEC,07, held today in Seville.
Therefore, the Civil Guard recommends that SMEs entrust the management of their networks to qualified personnel, as well as the use of legal programs registered on their computers.
Furthermore, it urges SMEs to regularly perform, manage and administer backups of important files, as well as to limit the use of technological means for personal use.
