Here’s our top 3 tips to keeping you and your business safe:
- Always update
- Every software vendor releases software updates and it’s not just about new features. More often than not these updates include known security patches
- Most “hacks” or breaches at the moment (including the massive Equifax data breach) are simply a result of patches not being installed, despite being freely available
- Have strong and unique passwords across all of your accounts
- Check out our post on creating a strong password
- Why have unique passwords across ALL accounts? Because if someone obtains one password, they will try to access every other account possible.
- Backup. Backup. Backup. and test
- Follow the 3-2-1 backup method.
3 Copies of your data
2 types of media (i.e. local disks and removable disks)
1 other location (cloud storage) - and perform regular test restores
- Follow the 3-2-1 backup method.
Nothing is foolproof, but by following these three simple steps you will go a long way to improving your cyber resilience.
