Limit Employee Access Not everyone on your team needs access to the same information so limit your critical data access to those who truly need it to do their jobs. Require employees to have unique passwords that are changed at least every 90 days. And don’t allow any employee to install a software program without your permission.
Prevent Ransomware Attacks • Do not open any e-mail links or attachments, even if it is from someone you know. Or at least heavily scrutinize and scan any attachments before opening. • Use a browser extension that shows when a website might be malicious. • Use both antivirus and firewall software. • Avoid public Wi-Fi unless using encryption software or a virtual private network (VPN). Train Employees Make sure everyone on your team is properly trained on how to detect and deter a possible cyber security risk. Sometimes an innocent mistake can be the most costly to your business. You or your business does not have to be a victim of a cyber attack. Take action TODAY! To speak with Susan Solovic, or to book her for an interview, please email: susan@susansolovic.com.
