Cyber Hygiene
We like to keep things clean around here!
Keeping systems up-to-date is one of the surest and simplest ways to stay secure. Both CISA and the FBI have recommended that organizations place an increased priority on patching their endpoints to mitigate increasing risks from state actors and organized crime.
You might have automatic updates enabled, but do you know what machines are patched at any given moment? The process is more complex than it seems, complicated by machine reboots, user interruptions, and failing updates.
Even on a fully patched system, human error is still a factor. Combining patch management with security awareness training is a powerful way to ensure your staff stay protected anywhere they are – in the office or working from home.
If you’ve spent time working on your asset inventory and already have your endpoints locked down, that’s great – but do you know what isn’t yours that’s on your network? Regular network vulnerability can perform a valuable service by auditing your network to ensure rogue devices aren’t lurking, and to make sure your security controls are performing as you expect them to.
Main services
Network and Website vulnerability scanning
- Vulnerability scanning lets you see what hackers can take advantage of if they gain access to your network and provides a crucial check on your network and endpoint configurations
- Changes over time, misconfigurations, and new technology often leave network and websites open to attack when often we didn’t even know we left the “windows” open.
- Ihloom scanning services can help identify problems before attackers do. Internal and external network scanning provides a way to check corporate networks, look for changes over time, and ensure attackers don’t find opportunities before you do.
- Your website is, at a minimum, the face of your businesses. Downtime or compromise can mean loss of credibility, risk of exposing sensitive information, and service disruption. Ihloom is your second set of eyes, constantly on the lookout for vulnerabilities to prevent downtime.
Security Awareness Training
- Your staff is both your first and last line of defense from one of the most prevalent cyber attacks facing your company – phishing.
- Training team members to identify and appropriately report suspicious behavior is critical to securing your business.
- Ihloom provides continuous training and awareness programs, which are critical to keeping staff engaged and aware of the most current and always-evolving tactics used by hackers.
AUTOMATED PatchING & Policy ENFORCEMENT
- Ensure all of your devices stay up-to-date with automatic OS and 3rd-party patching for Windows, Mac, and Linux devices
- Cloud-based application protects your on-site and remote endpoints
- Enforce security policies such as disk encryption, locked screensavers, and strong passwords.

What Is Cyber Hygiene?
Cyber hygiene is the practice of protecting and maintaining the security and health of hardware, software, and IT infrastructure. Just as you perform regular daily hygiene to maintain your personal health, there are tasks that you should perform regularly to maintain the health of your data and devices. These include installing security patches, performing internal and external network vulnerability scans, and maintaining a security awareness training program for your employees. Performing these tasks regularly will help ensure your systems are protected from security breaches and more.
