In short, I am describing these facts that you should avoid for your security.

• ​Email worm: - Your company database is important. You have to check emails to update your database. But often you see emails from unknown contacts which contain links. These emails contain texts. These emails may look good to you. They may offer you something that seems better for your business. And when you click on the link, you are in a trap. These emails contain virus-laden scripts. So, if you want to be safe, don't open any email from unknown contact from. Delete them instantly.
• Ransomware :-  At present its one of the biggest major weapons of hackers like crypto lockers, xorist family and so on. Security firm Trend Micro dubbed 2016 the "year of online extortion." Ransomware infects a computer and then threatens to lock a user out forever or delete data if the user doesn't pay up. When you try to download any information or software from any malicious link, it often happens. When ransomware gets into your computer system, it replaces its scripts in registry and system files. And you will get a sign when your command prompt will notify something skeptical after installing any software especially. So avoid downloading or visiting malicious web pages. It's recommended to use Anti-Malware software. 
• Messenger apps: - Are you using skype or similar app for communication? If YES!, then it is a medium too. You may get links from any unknown people. So, never click on any link given by untrusted contacts through your messaging apps.
• Trojan Horse: - Some software containing cracked file may be a hacking tool. When any or your computer operator or you download any cracked file for getting full benefits of any software, it happens. Trojan Horse generally seems to be a good and useful tool for your computer system but they are not at all. They affect your computer system and try to get control.
• Easy Password: - hackers use back door system, root access, rootkit, buffer overflow, CRM defection and any other system to get control your computer system. To avoid it, it's recommended to use an unpredictable password. And it's another security system that you can change your password often to avoid being an easy target.
• External drive: - Be careful. It's common to get affected by it. Any external drive may contain hidden scripts that will affect your computer. Even in some case, your antivirus can not find these codes. Because these codes/ scripts are undetectable to antivirus. Any-malware may help you in this case. But it's not 100% effective always.
• IP Address: - Every computer connected to the internet has IP Address. It's like a back door of your house. Hackers or intruders can easily access your system through it too. You need to hide your IP address at any cost. The firewall may help you to stop intruders from getting access to your system. But it's not always dependable. It's recommended that you use a private VPN. When you will communicate through this VPN, hackers won't see your real IP.

The most important thing any employer should do is to keep a secure backup. There's no alternative to a backup system. To minimize huge losses, it's vital to do. Remember, hackers have no mercy! They are the criminals of the world. They won't leave you although you pay and they rescue your system for the time being.
