Doing business online has its benefits, but it can also increase the risk of scams and cyber threats. Cyber security helps protect your technology and information from:
- accidental or illegal access
- corruption
- theft
- damage.
By taking a proactive approach to defending your business with cyber security measures, you help decrease the likelihood of becoming the target of online criminals and hackers.
A risk management plan that includes cyber security also helps keep your customers’ details safe which can help improve your business reputation.
To help keep your small business data secure, consider taking the following steps:
- Change your reused passwords and ensure every password is unique. You can also consider a password manger app to help you set, store, and recall them as needed.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA), sometimes called ‘two-step authentication’, anywhere it's offered. This is especially important for email and any service you can't afford to have compromised.
- Back up data routinely and consider using the 3-2-1 backup strategy, which helps in the event of multiple disasters.
- Schedule automatic updates for all your IT platforms and then schedule any automatic updates you can.
