Many businesses believe they are too small to be targeted by cyber criminals. In reality, small and medium-sized businesses are attractive targets precisely because their defences are often weaker.
Common mistakes and how to fix them
Relying on passwords alone. Enable multi-factor authentication for email, cloud apps and remote access.
Delaying updates. Unpatched software is one of the easiest ways in. Automate updates wherever possible.
Not testing backups. A backup is only useful if you can restore from it. Test recovery regularly.
Giving everyone admin rights. Limit access to what each person needs for their role.
Skipping staff training. People are your first line of defence. Keep them informed about the latest scams.
