CPA's Must Have Security!

The business you own today is not the same business you were running two years ago! Things have changed significantly in the business world, especially in your CPA firm.

The business risk you face is more significant than its ever been, and a newer adversary is rearing its ugly head - cyberattacks.

Cyberattacks create trust issues that can permanently damage your reputation and your company's image. Unfortunately, you've worked too hard not to protect your business and lose it all.

Now, you probably think, "how could I lose it all from a cyberattack"?

You are a target if you perform business functions with a computer or mobile phone.

If you have remote employees, then you are at a higher risk.

The more you produce, the higher your risk of becoming a victim of an attack.

Now, there is no such thing as 100% security. Every person is a target, and every device on the internet is a target.

The key to success is risk management. So how do you protect your most mission-critical data, applications, and assets from getting into the wrong hands and wreaking havoc on your business?

1. Create a security-first mindset by providing consistent security training for your staff.
2. Protect your systems by installing next=-generation malware protection on all computer systems within your organization, mobile devices, and tablets.
3. Create security-focused on-boarding and off-boarding processes to ensure new employees only receive the access needed to do their jobs and remove permissions from employees no longer with your firm.
4. Ensure you have a best-in calls spam filtering solution to help protect you from business email compromise and phishing attempts.
5. Use multi-factor authentication on all lines of business applications and programs.
