If you're looking for some suggestions, here are the IT-related resolutions that will help you make your information systems even better in the year to come.
Unless you've already upgraded your Internet in the past year, you could probably make it better, faster or more reliable. Just as a few suggestions on this front:
Sure, you undoubtedly have spent time and money setting up security measures in your IT systems... but have they ever actually been put to the test? Do you have any way of knowing whether they could genuinely stop an attack?
A live penetration test is the solution. "White hat" security experts test your security systems using the same tools that hackers and cybercriminals use.

When is the last time your workforce - your entire workforce - has been briefed on security? Human error is a contributing factor in the vast majority of successful cybercrime. Simply put, your workforce is your weakest security link. They need plenty of training to recognize attempts at security subversion, backed up by clearly-defined procedures for how to behave if they think they've spotted suspicious activity.
A social engineering assessment is a great way to test their knowledge, and learn where to focus your training efforts.
