The changes to which we have been exposed during the first half of 2020, at the level of technology as a true use of technological transformation, have had a great impact on all sectors of the economy. And who would have imagined that what one day in those futuristic feature films showed a reality so distant or for the use of a few, would have had to be adopted in less than a month for companies and people, in activities as common as going to the doctor , take a lesson, telework etc.
The information that is generated daily can range from greeting a loved one to holding a meeting where transcendental issues that will be part of the future of many families are discussed. According to a study carried out by the consulting firm DOMO in 2018 , it showed the interactions of the more than 3.8 billion people connected to the internet at that time, and their interaction over the course of a minute. https://web-assets.domo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/18-domo-data-never-sleeps-6.png

Now can you imagine how much of this data has grown exponentially during this situation, without existing controls? Most users, although they spend a lot of time on the Internet, do not take special care to protect their data.
We have chosen 7 tips so that your information is always safe:
Updated equipment: Use a strong password and do not give it to just anyone, nor do you connect to free networks without knowing the usage treatment policies. In your company or business, set up a guest network. At Infratek Soluciones, we have a team trained to advise your project
Install programs from safe sites: Check the places where you download free software. This prevents you from unknowingly installing malicious software and leaving your information unprotected.
Use social networks wisely: It never hurts to think about things before uploading them to social networks. You can give more information than is convenient, remember that half of you are working or having fun and the other half is analyzing what to do with that information.
Control access to equipment: Not everyone should have access to your equipment, this also applies to your children. In the case of a company that controls physical access to outsiders.
Secure networks: Use a good firewall to protect access to the private network and encrypt the information sent over the network. This prevents the outside world from having access to your data. Learn about our connectivity solutions here.
