-
Frequently remind employees not to click on unknown links, whether they be accessible by email or through the web.
-
Use stronger employee passwords as opposed to the short, predictable passwords that are frequently used.
-
Allow updates to the operating system, anti-virus software, firewalls and other critical programs whenever prompted.
-
Employees should backup their own data independently from the normal backups that should be occurring on a regular basis. This creates double protection of their files.
-
Lock down systems so that users are unable to install any unwanted programs.
-
Do not share login accounts and important credentials.
-
When outside the office, employees should only use secure networks when performing work-related tasks.
-
If a BYOD (bring your own device) policy is in effect, work with your IT Team to implement access and security protocols.
-
At a minimum, hold monthly IT training sessions. Educate employees on current cybersecurity dangers and test their knowledge on security practices.
-
Make sure employees are not only staying alert for themselves, but also for their colleagues.
