Overarching Cyber Security Threats

In the 21st century, we depend on technology and electricity every day. Breaches in cyber security, along with damage to power lines and other forms of technology, can cause significant disruptions to our lives. Traditional security measures paired with Critter Guard’s Line Guard and Pole Guard can help protect against threats from both hackers and wild animals.

What is Cyber Security?

Cyber security involves protecting computers, data, and networks from a variety of outside threats. Some common cyber security problems involve intentional attacks by hackers, causing outages and data breaches. While these attacks can be costly, accidental damage caused by squirrels and other critters can be just as expensive, and maybe even more frequent. Animals that chew, climb on, or hang from power lines may cause significant outages.

Why is Cyber Security Important?

In the 21st century, cyber security is an important aspect of keeping many businesses up and running. We rely on electricity and telecommunications on a daily basis, and both individuals and companies are becoming increasingly dependent on functional computers. Outages and breaches in cyber security, whether they are caused by humans or animals, can pose a significant threat to both productivity and safety. In today's world, online data can wreak havoc on individuals and businesses if it is misused or leaked.

Protecting Against Cyber Security Threats

Savvy computer and business owners know that there are many steps they can take to protect themselves from cyber security threats. Traditional measures, such as firewall systems and only using credit cards on secure websites, can minimize many of the most common technical cyber security issues. However, these measures don't offer protection from squirrels and other critters.

Critter Guard's Pole Guard and Line Guard systems are easy ways to protect your computers and data from outages caused by squirrels and other critters. The Pole Guard makes it difficult for critters to get onto poles from the ground, while the Line Guard blocks access to power lines from trees, buildings, and other high objects.
