Over 40% of cyber-attacks target small businesses. Don’t worry you don’t have to be an expert in this area, but you need to keep up to date with the cyber risks and vulnerabilities of your business so that you can take action and protect your business.
Here are some actions you should implement when aiming for your computer security:
- Data backup – An incremental backup should be performed daily
- Setting permissions and using encryption – these methods can be used to protect sensitive data from prying eyes
- Set rules about Internet usage to protect your business – emails and fraudulent websites as well as pop-ups and animations can be used to divulge personal financial data
- Use strong passwords – P4$$w0rD is not a good password and a good username is also important
- Be especially cautious about wireless networks
- If you have a firewall on your network you still need to turn on Windows Firewall
- Protect your server – make sure that the software that is critical to your business operations is fully secure
