IS YOUR BUSINESS PROTECTED FROM CYBERFRAUD?
Cyberfraud is the nightmare of any business owner. It sure feels painful to watch your beloved business records and other sensitive information vanish before your very eyes.
This is the more reason why you need a cybersecurity plan in place to protect your business. Read on to learn a few tips on how to go about this.
Put online restrictions in place.
It is always a good idea to restrict your employees’ Internet access to certain websites e.g. pornographic websites. This is because such websites are often infected with malware and watching videos, even downloading them can result in viruses infecting the office computers.
Such malware can make a computer crash and this will result in loss of valuable information for the business.
A good IT technician will be able to put such Internet restrictions in place in a bid to prevent employees accessing restricted websites without your knowledge and permission.
Password strength is of essence.
A strong password is crucial to protection from cyberfraud. Passwords that are hard to guess (combine letters, numbers, and special characters) are especially useful in achieving this.
If two-step verification can be put in place prior to accessing sensitive information, this will go a long way in ensuring cybersecurity.
Instruct your employees about storing their passwords away from their computers in a hard-to-access place.
Make use of your spam folder.
The spam folder on your laptop is not there for ornamental purposes. Many spam emails are accompanied with viruses posing as file attachments. The opening of such emails often cause infection of a computer by malware.
However, this can be prevented by the installation of a good spam filter in place. Do ensure that all your employees have a good spam folder installed on their office computers.
Put a cyberinsurance plan in place.
If you can afford it, you might want to speak with an insurance agent in a bid to install an effective cyberinsurance plan on your office computers. mso-far�����%
