Byte Moth’s Security Principles

If you spend any time with our content or talking to us, you’ll come across the Byte Moth Security Principles. We have two principles that we use to guide all our security recommendations. But what do these really mean?

“The Scope and Level of Protection should be specific and appropriate to the asset at risk.”

— Byte Moth Security Principle 1

• You need to know what assets you have. We do this with Track Your Tech.

• You need to know what assets you use. We do this with Track Your Tech.

• You need to know how important that asset is to your business.

• You must take the appropriate actions to protect your asset.

• You decide what actions are appropriate based on how important the asset is.

• You need to enforce your security framework as appropriate, understanding that not everything needs the highest level of security and protection.

“Security Mechanisms must be pervasive, simple, scalable, and easy to manage.”

— Byte Moth Security Principle 2

• You need to have security systems that are easy to manage.

• You need to have systems that will grow as your business grows.

• You need to have systems that will work together seamlessly and automatically.
