Attackers do not only target large companies. Small businesses are often attractive because their defences are weaker. A few basic measures prevent most common attacks.
The essentials
- Turn on multi-factor authentication for email and key systems
- Keep operating systems and software updated
- Use a password manager and unique passwords
- Back up important data and test restores
- Install reputable security software on all devices
Limit access
Give each person access only to the systems and data they need for their role, and remove access promptly when people leave.
Train your people
Most attacks start with a convincing email or phone call. Short, regular awareness training is one of the best investments you can make.
Know what to do in an incident
Write down who to call and the first steps to take if something goes wrong. Speed matters.
Perfect security does not exist, but strong basics make your organisation a much harder target.
