Does Bloatware Pose a Risk to Your Network? This week in our Tuesday Cyber Security Top Tip series, we’re focusing on bloatware and its potential risks to your #networksecurity. Bloatware refers to unnecessary software that comes pre-installed on new devices or accumulates over time. While these programs may seem harmless, they can pose significant threats to your organization. Here’s what you need to know: Increased Attack Surface: Each piece of bloatware introduces potential vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. More software means more opportunities for hackers to breach your system. Resource Drain: Bloatware can slow down your systems, consuming precious resources and bandwidth, leading to performance issues and decreased productivity. Compliance Risks: Some bloatware may not meet your organization’s compliance standards, putting sensitive data at risk and potentially resulting in regulatory penalties. Obscured Management: Bloatware complicates system management, making it harder to monitor and secure your network effectively. So, how can you address the risks associated with bloatware? Conduct Regular Audits: Regularly review your software inventory to identify and remove unnecessary programs. Streamline Your Standard Build: Ensure that your company’s standard build includes only essential applications to enhance security and efficiency. Educate Your Team: Train employees on the importance of avoiding bloatware and maintaining a lean software environment. By proactively managing bloatware, you can reduce security risks and maintain a more efficient and secure IT environment. Have you spoken to your IT provider about a cybersecurity audit? If not, why not reach out to Craig Langman and the team? They can help ensure your network is secure and free from unnecessary vulnerabilities. https://lnkd.in/exsZQXqV #CyberSecurityTips #Bloatware #NetworkSecurity #infosec The Cyber Resilience Centre for West Midlands

Antivirus Has Evolved ! In this week's Tuesday Cyber Security Top Tip, we’re diving into how traditional antivirus software is no longer enough to protect your business from today’s advanced cyber threats. #Cybercriminals are constantly refining their tactics, and your defenses need to stay ahead. That’s where Endpoint Detection and Response (#EDR) comes in. Unlike basic antivirus solutions, EDR actively monitors, detects, and responds to threats in real-time, providing proactive defense against ransomware, fileless attacks, and other sophisticated malware. It doesn’t just block viruses, it tracks suspicious activity across your network and takes immediate action to neutralize threats. With EDR, your business benefits from faster threat detection, automatic removal of malware, and detailed incident reporting. This allows your team to respond quickly and effectively to potential risks before they escalate into major breaches. If your company is still relying on traditional antivirus software, it’s time to upgrade. Contact Craig and the team here, and we’ll help ensure your business is protected. 🤖 https://lnkd.in/exsZQXqV #CyberSecurityTips #EDR #infosec #businesssecurity
