Take Aways

Cyber security is crucial for small businesses. It might seem intimidating, but protecting your digital presence doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a simple guide to help you understand the basics and safeguard your business.

Step 1. Strengthen Your Defences
Use Strong, Unique Passwords 

Passwords are the first line of defence. Ensure everyone in your business uses strong, unique passwords for all accounts. A strong password should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Consider using a password manager to keep track of them. 

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) 

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security. Even if someone gets your password, they won’t be able to access your accounts without the second factor, usually a code sent to your phone.

Step 2. Stay Updated and Backed Up
Regularly Update Software and Systems 

Software updates often include security patches that fix vulnerabilities. Make sure your operating system, applications, and security software are always up to date, and if possible, set them to update automatically. 

Install and Maintain Antivirus Software 

Antivirus software helps detect and eliminate threats like viruses and malware. Ensure you have reliable antivirus software installed and keep it updated. 

Backup Your Data Regularly 

Regular backups protect your business from data loss due to cyber-attacks, hardware failures, or other disasters. Store backups offsite or in the cloud for added security.
