If you think you’re too small to be noticed by hackers, you’re wrong. Cybercriminals look for small business owners because they know most will not invest in proper cybersecurity systems, and it will be an easy payday. You may be a small company, but a data breach can cost you BIG. Be proactive and be prepared. 📲 Book a 10-Minute Discovery Call with our team and we’ll help you map out a plan to get started – https://lnkd.in/dxJ9JmB

We’ve worked in cybersecurity for over 17 years, and here are 5 things we’d NEVER do! 1. Reuse passwords or use one-word passwords. If you do this, you are asking for trouble. They are so easy to crack, you don’t stand a chance. 2. Use public WiFi. You might as well just write your login information on a Post-it note and hand it over to the hackers. 3. Click links in e-mails. If your bank e-mails you, just go log in. If there is a promotion for a store, just go to that store’s website and search for it. 4. Skip two-factor or multi-factor authentication. It’s an extra step that can be the difference between someone getting into your account or not. 5. Save passwords to my Google account. If someone hacks your Google account, they have your passwords for everything. It’s easy, but easy is dangerous, so use a secure password manager.

Strong passwords are a great start, but if someone is able to guess it correctly and that’s all you have set up, you’re in trouble. Multi-factor authentication requires a second verification. That way, if someone does get your password and attempts to log into your account, you’ll be notified and can take action.

Have you received a verification code for one of your accounts that you didn’t request? This could be a sign someone is trying to log into your account or that your account information was compromised in a data breach. If you get one of these notifications, it’s a good idea to change your password. (Remember to use strong passwords with 12+ characters!) If it’s a sensitive account that you get an alert for, like a bank or a credit card, call and check recent account activity.
