Here are some tips to help strengthen your cyber security…
- Use Strong, Unique Passwords & Enable MFA Create strong passwords for each account and turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA / 2FA) whenever you can. This extra layer of security can stop most cyber attacks.
- Keep Software and Devices Up to Date Install updates as soon as they are available. This helps protect your business from the latest threats.
- Train Your Team to Spot Phishing and Social Engineering Teach everyone to recognize suspicious emails, links, and calls. A well-informed team is your best first line of defence.
- Back Up Critical Data Securely – and Test Your Backups Keep regular, secure backups in a separate location and test the restore process occasionally. This ensures you can recover quickly if something goes wrong.
- Restrict Access Based on Roles Give employees access only to the systems and data they need. Fewer access points mean fewer opportunities for cyber criminals.
- Secure Your Network – Especially Remote Access Protect your network with firewalls and strong WiFi passwords. Use a VPN for remote work to keep your data safe, no matter where your team is working.
- Have a Response Plan Ready Develop a step-by-step plan for handling security incidents. A clear process saves time and minimizes damage if an attack occurs.
