CYBERSECURITY BASICS
Cybercriminals prey on businesses of all sizes
Knowing and putting simple cybersecurity principles into practice will help you defend your organization and decrease the likelihood of a cyber attack.
PROTECT
YOUR FILES & DEVICES
Update your software
Apps, web browsers, and operating systems are all included.
Set automatic updates to occur.
Secure your files
Back up crucial files on the cloud, on an external hard drive, or offline.
Make sure your paper files are also securely stored.
Require passwords
Passwords should be used on all PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
In public locations, do not leave these gadgets alone.
Encrypt devices
Devices and other media containing sensitive personal information should be encrypted.
Laptops, tablets, cellphones, removable drives, backup tapes, and cloud storage options are all examples.
Use multi-factor authentication
Getting access to critical sections of your network should require multi-factor authentication. This necessitates extra steps beyond just entering a password, such as a temporary code on a smartphone or a key placed into a computer.
