Cyber criminals target companies of all sizes. Knowing some cybersecurity basics and putting them in practice will help you protect your business and reduce the risk of a cyber attack.

PROTECT YOUR FILES & DEVICES

Update your software
-Update your software This includes your apps, web browsers, and operating systems. Set updates to happen automatically

Secure your files
-Back up important files offline, on an external hard drive, or in the cloud. Make sure you store your paper files securely, too.

Require passwords
-Use passwords for all laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Don’t leave these devices unattended in public place

Encrypt devices
-Encrypt devices and other media that contain sensitive personal information.
-This includes laptops, tablets, smartphones, removable drives, backup tapes, and cloud storage solutions.

Use multi-factor authentication
Require multi-factor authentication to access areas of your network with sensitive information. This requires additional steps beyond logging in with a password — like a temporary code on a smartphone or a key that’s inserted into a computer.

PROTECT YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK

Secure your router
-Change the default name and password, turn off remote management, and log out as the administrator once the router is set up.

Use at least WPA2 encryption
-Make sure your router offers WPA2 or WPA3 encryption, and that it’s turned on.
-Encryption protects information sent over your network so it can’t be read by outsiders.

CREATE A SMART SECURITY SYSTEM FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Require strong passwords
-A strong password is at least 12 characters that are a mix of numbers, symbols, and capital lowercase letters.
-Never reuse passwords and don’t share them on the phone, in texts, or by email.
-Limit the number of unsuccessful log-in attempts to limit password-guessing attacks.

Train all staff
-Create a culture of security by implementing a regular schedule of employee training.
-Update employees as you find out about new risks and vulnerabilities. If employees don’t attend, consider blocking their access to the network.

Have a plan
-Have a plan for saving data, running the business, and notifying customers if you experience a breach. The FTC’s
