Simple Cybersecurity Tips from CISA to Protect Your Business
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommends businesses keep it simple and focus on these four critical actions now:
- Teach Employees to Avoid Phishing – Phishing happens when criminals trick employees into opening malicious attachments or sharing personal info. Implement training to teach employees how to identify and report suspicious activity.
- Require Strong Passwords – This is one of the easiest ways to protect your business from criminals who might otherwise access your accounts by guessing or using automated hacking programs.
- Require Multifactor Authentication – Use more than a password when signing into accounts, such as a texted code, authenticator app or biometrics – to make them much safer than a password alone! MFA protects accounts by requiring additional authentication to prevent access by others.
- Update Business Software – Defects in software, routers, VPNs and apps can give criminals an opening to your accounts. Software manufacturers publish patches, but you must install them to be protected! Don’t use outdated software. Keep business software up to date.
