Guaranteeing System Security: Practical Steps To Follow

In my previous articles, I have talked about some of the steps that you can follow in order to secure your devices. In this article, I want to talk about four major actions that can guarantees system security. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.

Here are the steps to take…

#1 System access control

First and foremost, you need to make sure that it is only authorised users that can have access to devices.

The users need to access devices based on what they have or what they do not have. This will reduce unauthorised users.

Also, you need to ensure that authorised users comply with security measures that you have put in place.

An average employee will not always want to comply but you have to make sure that the system is configured in such a way that system will force them to comply with measures that you have put in place. 

#2 Data access controls

There is a need for you to keep a close eye on organisational data that are available at your disposal.

You need to understand who is accessing organisational data and for what purpose are they carrying out such activity.

You also need to define access levels based on the roles that every individual are expected to perform. You have to make sure no single individual have access to all aspect of the data.

Nobody should be given access more than what they need to perform their roles.

#3 System and Security Administration

You also have to perform system and security administration such as configuring system settings, implementing security policies as well as monitoring system states among others in order to be sure that intruders cannot have access to organisational resources.

#4 System Design

This has to do with the development of various aspects of system designs for the security architecture.

It covers hardware and software design such as memory segmentation, privilege isolation among other features.
