1. Protect Your Hardware -What you can do
is to protect your devices with strong and complicated passwords with the help
of password managers such as LastPass, 1Password or Bitwarden. Each device
user should have their own account and password manager. If you won't use a
password manager, try some of these password
management tips but never, never write down passwords in an
accessible place. Moreover, you can protect your hardware by employing
anti-theft cables or brackets
2. Keep Your System Update- Keeping
your system software updated is crucial for cyber-security of your business.
Updated security software and strong firewalls settings ensure prevention of
virus or attacks by the cyber-criminals. When your system is automatically
updated, you will be protected from many of the known vulnerabilities that
cyber attackers routinely exploit.
3. Data Protection Essentials: Backing
up or archiving business
data is essential for recovery from cyber attacks, theft of devices, or loss of
equipment or media resulting from a flood or fire. Remember to back up not only
data that is stored on servers, but client and mobile devices as well.
4. Data
Encryption. Making your business data useless when it falls
into the wrong hands is an effective protection strategy. This can be done by
encrypting your data. Full-disk encryption software is available from all major
computer and mobile operating systems
5. staff training
This could be an unsuspecting employee with weak passwords or
who falls for a phishing or social engineering attempt. Make sure your team knows
how cybercriminals can trick them, how to identify a suspicious email or phone
call, especially those that seem to be legitimately from friends or another
department.
