23 Sep Cyber Security Tips to Keep Your Company Safe
Part of keeping your data safe is developing a cyber security policy for your company, and educating employees about proper and secure data handling. Whether you manage all of your IT services in-house or use a hosted virtual desktop solution from a third party service provider, the following cyber security tips can help keep your data and company safe from unwanted security attacks and data breaches:
- Never share a business Wi-Fi network with guests. If you offer free Wi-Fi service at your business, make sure it is running on its own network, not your primary business network.
- Require mandatory password changes every 30 to 60 days. Changing passwords on a frequent basis makes it more difficult for hackers to get into your systems.
- Never use the same password for all systems. Avoid using the same password for every single system.
- Never store online passwords on your computer. Some web browsers offer to save and store log-in and password information, and this practice should always be avoided.
- Convert to virtual and application hosting systems. Virtual and application hosted systems are constantly updated and monitored for security risks and threats, taking the guesswork out of your hands.
- Have a security audit completed every six to twelve months. Threats and risks constantly change, and your business needs to adapt quickly, with regular security audits to expose potential vulnerabilities.
