Firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits are conducted to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. Our network is monitored around the clock to detect and respond to any suspicious activity.

This plan outlines the steps to be taken to contain and mitigate the incident, notify relevant authorities, and recover affected systems and data. Regular drills are conducted to test the effectiveness of our response procedures.
Employee Responsibilities
Every employee has a role in maintaining cybersecurity. We emphasize the importance of strong password practices, secure login procedures, and the use of company-approved devices and software. Employees are also encouraged to promptly report any suspicious emails or activities.
