Just read a great blog post by Dr. Eric Cole, covering a few easy ways a small business can protect itself from a cyberattack.
Here’s a quick recap of some easy prevention measures any small business can do.
Have an Internet Policy in Place
Establish and enforce security guidelines for your staff. Passwords, internet downloads, and how to identify phishing scams should all be covered.
Update Your Anti-Virus Software and Definitions
Do a quick check to insure you’re not only using the latest AV definitions, but the best and most up-to-date AV software you can afford.
Make Sure Your Wireless LAN is Secure
This is very important and relatively easy to do. Limiting access by having strong encryption, password policies, and a virtual private network can go along way to keeping your data safe.
