It’s a new year, yet some of these resolutions remain the same and are in fact becoming even more critical. Let’s review.
- Activate 2FA: two-factor authentication (2FA) is a critical security technique that can prevent unwanted access to your account. It works by demanding another type of authentication in addition to your login credentials. This might be a security code or a code texted to your phone. Accounts that employ 2FA are far less likely to be breached than those that do not.
- Prioritise a gap analysis: Consider doing a gap analysis to find where your organisation is most vulnerable. Begin with an inventory check of your assets. From there, you can more easily see what support you need to prioritise. Not only does this help you focus on your most critical security risks, but it also helps you spot problematic patterns to rectify when creating processes to improve security across the entire organisation.

- Increase remote working security: Now that remote working is a norm and hybrid working models are being rapidly adopted, companies should continuously implement and reinforce user-friendly cyber security tools and policies, and users should improve their security standards at home.?
- Invest in anti-phishing training: Phishing is by far the most exploited attack vector, or technique, by which hackers get their targets to do bad things inadvertently. Phishing is easy to execute and highly profitable for hackers, so it’s not going away anytime soon. If the cost of phishing doesn’t get you, the fines for compliance violations just might.
