The threat of hacking is something that all operators must think about, but the good news is that it’s not something that can’t be beaten thanks to OptConnect and their managed connectivity solutions.
Today, virtually every piece of equipment or device requires internet access. Though there are various options to get connectivity for your equipment or device, one of the riskiest options for businesses is 3rd party connectivity.
Being a third party on an already existing network can open your connection up to security threats. In the cases of both the Target and Home Depot security breaches, the hackers initially infiltrated both store’s networks by gaining access through an outside vendor’s system that was connected to their main network. Once they entered the network, they were able to pilfer customer’s payment card information systematically.
