YOU might think that you have nothing to worry about when it comes to cyber security. But you are probably wrong. According to a recent survey, 95 percent of networks have been breached. 66 percent of those are not even aware of the network breach.
It isn’t enough to gape in disbelief. Here are some measures you put in place to ensure a safer network for your organization or business.
Look to the cloud <!–more–>
Clouds have privacy and security controls to ensure that only the people you want to access your data are able to. Moving components onto third-party clouds could actually provide added resilience against events such as local power loss at sites.
Many clouds are backed up at multiple locations, meaning that if one of the provider’s servers goes down your data will still be available from somewhere else.
Be sure to use a reliable service provider with good history. also, let your provider know what data you would like deleted after a certain period of time.
Fortify hardware and software
It pays to have reliable anti-virus software on your organisation’s computers. Go a step further in updating your anti-virus and other software regularly.
You should also be careful about the kind of software you install on your computer so that you don’t open up the door for malware and other malicious activities. Also, work with your IT team to ensure that your hardware is secure as well.
Back up regularly
Imagine what would happen if you lost all your data? Keep that imagination in mind until you have backed up your data in multiple secure locations. Don’t procrastinate, do it now, and do it often.
Train your staff
It won’t do you any good if you’re the only one who cares about securing your network. Get experts to train your staff often on habits they need to imbibe to ensure cyber security.
Money, money, money
Don’t always go for the cheap stuff. Speak with your CTO or head of IT on how to make reasonable investments to secure your network. Sometimes a trusted third party company who has data security as its core might be a better option for you. Weigh all your options before making a decision.

Online is the  convenient way to do business. Many people will testify of the capacity of online ads to provide access to customers at a cheaper quicker, rate. One of such is Mr. Femi Oriowo, a business developer and an avid OLX user who says he has not only sold over 500 items on the platform but also secured his current job through OLX.
“I heard about OLX on the radio in late 2013,” Oriowo told Glamtech, “I have been using the platform since then. It has been such a wonderful experience;  I have been able to sell over 500 items including phones and electronics on the platform.” <!–more–>
The catch for him is the speed at which he gets things sold on the platform.  “The fact that there are no middle men involved allows me to increase my profit margin considerably,” he added. Oriowo said the platform also gave him the right networking opportunities to move his career forward.  His words: “Earlier this year, I met someone who bought a laptop from me, we later became friends and now I am the Business Developer Manager in his company, the opportunities with OLX are endless.”
With the high unemployment rate amongst Nigerian youths, Oriowo believes that young people can comfortably earn a decent side-income by selling on OLX starting with little capital. He said: “It’s a good way to start-up the ladder to being self- employed and self-reliant. OLX gives you the exposure you need to get your goods sold, provides excellent user support and what’s more, it’s free. You also get to develop and hone your entrepreneurial skills.”
Doing business online is not without its challenges, one of which is the issue of security, but Oriowo believes the company is doing its best to ensure that transactions on its platform are becoming more and more secure. “OLX, like every other online marketplace has had its share of invasion from unscrupulous elements called scammers; but with the safety measures recently being implemented, scamming on OLX is sure to become a thing of the past,” he concluded.

A 45-year-old commercial driver, Saturday Akpomose, narrowly escaped death last Saturday, after he was attacked by seven dogs at Ajah area of Lagos State. The timely intervention of residents and passers-by saved the driver from the dogs. <!–more–>

The matter was reported at Ogombo Police Division, which referred Akpomose to the General Hospital at Akodo, for immediate treatment due to the severity of his injuries.

His story
When Vanguard visited the victim in the hospital, he said: “My wife and I went to visit my in-law on Sunday. He lives at Okun Ajah Road, in Eti-Osa East Local Council Development Area. Later, on Tuesday morning, I just strolled out of the compound and came across the dogs.
“As I stepped out, I saw a security man coming out with several dogs. They were very huge Alsatian dogs. I was terrified when I saw them and as I tried to go back in, they overpowered the man holding them.
“As I bent down to pick a stone and scare them away, they pounced on me and that was all I knew. They bit me in almost all parts of my body. As I screamed, some residents came out and tried to scare away the dogs with sticks.
“My screams even woke up my in-law who was asleep in the house. At a time, I became weak and unconscious and it was the people who rushed me to the hospital.”

Dogs’ owner intervenes
When Vanguard visited the residence of the dogs’ owner, the Chief Security Officer attached to the building, who identified himself simply as Victor, said: “Immediately I got back home, I explained his condition to my boss who directed me to see his family and take a decision on how to transfer the victim to his own private hospital for proper medical attention.
“We have bought all the drugs they asked us to buy. We are showing the receipt to you just to let you know that we care about the victim.”
