Cyber Security: 7 essential tips for every business

1
Use strong, unique passwords & enable MFA
Create complex passwords for every account and switch on multi-factor authentication wherever you can. This extra layer stops most cyber attacks at the front door.
2
Keep software and devices up to date
Install updates as soon as they’re available. Patching vulnerabilities protects your business from the latest threats.
3
Train your team to spot phishing and social engineering
Help everyone recognise suspicious emails, links and calls. A well-informed team is your best first line of defence.
4
Back up critical data securely - and test your backups
Keep regular, secure backups in a separate location and run a test restore now and then. That way, you can recover quickly if anything goes wrong.
5
Restrict access based on roles
Give employees access only to the systems and data they need. Fewer access points mean fewer opportunities for cyber criminals.
6
Secure your network - especially remote access
Protect your network with firewalls and strong WiFi passwords. Use a VPN for remote work to keep your data safe wherever your team is working.
7
Have a response plan ready
Make sure you have a step-by-step plan for dealing with security incidents. A clear process saves time and limits damage if an attack happens.
