• Train employees to identify risks
• Monitor vulnerable devices and implement controls
• Segment networks to limit attack propagation
• Strengthen the security of e-mails and two-factor authentication
• Develop and test incident response plans

Platforms such as Sign Well are valuable allies.“A digital signature offers legal validity, advanced encryption and compliance with the General Data Protection Act (GDPR).In addition, the solution is practical, sustainable and safe, eliminating the use of paper and the risk of” losses, adds the CEO.
