Use strong passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Strong passwords are your first line of defense against cyberattacks. Make sure to use a unique password for each of your online accounts, and create passwords that are at least 12 characters long and include a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. You should also enable MFA whenever possible. MFA adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring you to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password.

Keep your software up to date.

Software updates often include security patches that can help to protect your devices from known vulnerabilities. Make sure to install software updates as soon as they are available.

Use a firewall and antivirus software.

A firewall can help to protect your network from unauthorized access, and antivirus software can help to protect your devices from malware. There are a number of free and paid firewall and antivirus software solutions available.

Back up your data regularly.

If you do experience a cyberattack, having a backup of your data can be essential to getting back up and running quickly. Make sure to back up your data regularly and store the backups in a safe and secure location.

Educate your employees about cybersecurity.



Employees are often the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. Make sure to educate your employees about cybersecurity best practices, such as how to identify phishing emails and how to create strong passwords.
