Does Your Business Have Any Cyber Security Vulnerabilities?

Cyber Security vulnerabilities can wreak havoc, and there is a good chance there are some lurking in the shadows around your business.  It’s important to take care of these hidden dangers and protect your business against potential Cyber threats.

 

Let’s uncover some of the most common Cyber Security issues small and mid-size businesses face.

  • Outdated Software: Although updating software can be a hassle, running outdated software is an open invitation for hackers. Software vendors typically release updates that include crucial security patches that fix any vulnerabilities.
  • Weak Passwords: Strong and unique passwords must be created for all accounts and devices. Password managers are a useful tool for generating and storing passwords securely.
  • Unsecured Wi-Fi: Unsecured Wi-Fi is a great way for hackers to intercept sensitive data. Your Wi-Fi must be password protected and a virtual private network (VPN) can help keep your data safe from dangerous eyes.
  • Lack of Employee Training: Employee error is the number one cause of all data breaches. Without proper training, your staff may unknowingly fall victim to scams and expose sensitive information, so it’s important they are regularly educated about Cyber Security best practices.
  • No Data Backups: Data loss is typically due to hardware failures and ransomware attacks. Regularly testing your backups to ensure they are functional and reliable is a must-do for all businesses.
  • No Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Adding MFA, on top of a reliable password, provides an extra layer of protection. It makes it much harder for hackers to breach your accounts.
