Many store owners focus on hackers and external attacks, but sometimes the greatest danger comes from within the store itself. In this blog, we'll explain how to start protecting from within before you even think about any external threat.
1. Control Permissions: Not Everyone Needs Everything
The biggest internal vulnerability is granting excessive permissions. Every employee or partner should have limited access based solely on their role. Reducing permissions minimizes risks, even if an error or misuse occurs.
2. Temporary Employee Accounts
Temporary employees or external parties often forget their accounts after work ends. Unused accounts are an open door to internal or external exploitation.
3. Weak and Repetitive Passwords
Using the same password for multiple systems or choosing easy passwords puts the store at risk. Clear password policies protect the store without daily complications.
4. Monitoring Internal System Changes
Knowing who changed what and when is crucial. Logging and monitoring systems help you detect any unusual activity before it escalates into a major problem.
5. Protecting Sensitive Data
Not all data needs to be exposed. Encrypting data and hiding sensitive information reduces the damage, even in the event of an internal leak.
6. Regular Internal Updates
Outdated systems or neglected settings within the store facilitate hacking. Continuously updating internal settings and systems is essential for long-term protection.
7. Security Awareness for the Team
Even the strongest security system can collapse due to a simple human error. Educating the team on security fundamentals reduces errors that could open the door to an attack.
8. Separating Operational Environments
Separating the work environment from the development environment reduces risks. Any testing or modification should be done away from the actual store to avoid unexpected problems.
True security starts from within. When you control permissions, behavior, and monitoring, you build a strong firewall before you even think about external threats.
