Property managers of commercial facilities like shopping centers, sports stadiums, casinos, churches, and movie complexes face unique physical security and cybersecurity challenges. These places often have numerous points of access to the facility and the internet and digital systems, including Wi-Fi networks for visitors, point-of-sale systems for merchants, digital signage, security systems, and more. Therefore, they need a robust security strategy to protect their facilities, systems and data from potential threats.<\/p>\n

These threats are with us every day. But, there are some best practices that can be put into place to reduce risks to the venues, the employees and members of the publics. The rest of this article summarizes some of the best practices that can be put in place to strengthen your cybersecurity. I cover best practices for physical security<\/a> for this important critical infrastructure area in a different article.<\/p>\n

        1. Network Segmentation<\/strong>: Network segmentation involves splitting a computer network into smaller parts. For instance, point-of-sale systems should be on a different network segment from the public Wi-Fi to prevent a compromise of the public Wi-Fi from affecting critical business systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
