Monitoring the Devices of Your Employees

Within the family office (FO), safeguarding sensitive information on devices is paramount. As technology continues to advance, the importance of this issue will only grow. Beyond all the sophisticated tech defenses, it is crucial to maintain a vigilant focus on the real sources of information - our employees and their devices.

As the financial overseers of the FO, orchestrating a symphony of precautions is your responsibility.

First and foremost, cybersecurity must be a part of the FO’s DNA. Multifaceted authentication, encryption, and regular software updates should form the bedrock. However, this digital citadel must not neglect the gatekeepers themselves.

Employees entrusted with access to the inner sanctum of data should undergo scrupulous training in cybersecurity hygiene. They must be equipped with a heightened awareness of phishing attempts, social engineering, and safe browsing.

Your FO must adhere to a stringent mobile device policy. Although they are modern marvels, MacBooks, and iPhones are now the cause of countless cybersecurity threats. Employees must be equipped with a heightened awareness regarding phishing attempts, social engineering, and safe browsing practices.

The FO must recognize in the digital age that their guardians of information serve as both the first line of defense and any potential standing threats. We can build a strong defense against cyber threats by combining top-notch tech with smart, cautious employees. The security of the family legacy is in our hands.

So, play it smart and keep devices safe and secure.
