Cyber Security Tips and Tricks?

Are you tired of constantly worrying about the security of your business's online data? Fear not, we've got you covered with these helpful cybersecurity tips and tricks!?

1. Use strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts. This may seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised at how many people use the same password for multiple accounts. If one of those accounts gets compromised, all of your accounts are at risk.?
2. Enable Multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever possible. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to provide additional credentials beyond a complex password. It does so by requesting you set up an authenticator application on a smart device by sending you a specific code to your smart device using SMS or telephone calls. This makes it much more difficult, if not impossible for Bad Actors (hackers) to gain access to your accounts even if they have your username and password.?
3. Keep your software and devices up to date. Ensuring annual software support has been secured which will entitle you to platform updates and patches ect. Bad actors often scan and look to exploit these critical vulnerabilities. Hackers often exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software, so it's important to ensure that you're running the latest version.?
4. Use reputable security solutions, such as perimeter security i.e., firewalls and internal security mechanisms to halt suppress, and alert on malicious activity. These tools can help protect your business from malware and other online threats.?
5. Be highly aware of social engineering like the constant barrage of email-based exploitation like phishing. Social engineering is the idea of gaining access to your credentials and looking to exploit your business in some way. This can consist of an email request to change a password or the distribution of malware, but any and all activity at workstations are 100% related to social engineering.? Do not click on links or download attachments from unknown sources and be wary of emails that ask for sensitive information.??
