Other practices

Several other security best practices can be followed, some of them are enumerated here: 

• Use a remote access VPN to provide access to remote workers
• Log everything in an immutable manner in a centralized location, and review the logs periodically
• Set up tape rotation for backup, and restrict access to the tapes
• Ensure the backups are encrypted and tested regularly
• Deploy the mail filtering application to protect from phishing, malware, and so on
• Use a central NTP server to synchronize the time everywhere
• Provide access with the Least Privilege mode, which simply means implicitly deny until the access is explicitly given
