We want to talk to you about a topic that affects every business owner: cyber security. There is a lot to know, it is important that you follow these five important tips to help you protect yourself and your online presence. So let’s dive right in!

TIP #1: USE UNIQUE PASSWORDS

Cyber security tip number one: Use unique passwords. It’s tempting to reuse passwords across multiple accounts, but it’s a risky practice. If one account gets hacked, all your other accounts are vulnerable too. Instead, create strong, unique passwords for each account. And yes, I know it can be difficult to remember them all, but that brings me to our next tip.

TIP #2: USE PASSWORD MANAGER APPS

Cyber security tip number two: Use password manager apps. These handy tools securely store all your passwords in one place. They even generate complex, unique passwords for you. All you need to remember is one master password to access your vault. It’s convenient, efficient, and a great way to enhance your online security.

TIP #3: ALWAYS USE MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

Cyber security tip number three: Always use multi-factor authentication. This adds an extra layer of protection to your accounts by requiring more than just a password. It may involve a fingerprint, a code sent to your phone, or a security key. By enabling multi-factor authentication, you make it much harder for hackers to gain unauthorized access.

TIP #4: USE A VPN ON PUBLIC NETWORKS

Cyber security tip number four: Use a VPN on public networks. When connecting to public Wi-Fi, like in coffee shops or airports, your data can be intercepted by malicious individuals. A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, creates an encrypted tunnel for your internet traffic, shielding it from prying eyes. It’s a smart choice to safeguard your sensitive information when you’re on the go.

TIP #5: ALWAYS USE A TRUSTED SOURCE

Cyber security tip number five: Always use a trusted source. Be cautious when downloading files or clicking on links from unfamiliar websites or emails. Cybercriminals often disguise malicious software as legitimate files or use phishing tactics to trick you into revealing personal information. Stick to trusted sources and exercise caution to minimize the risk of falling victim to cyber threats.
