Cybercrimes on businesses are increasing over time especially with more businesses shifting to remote working environments. No matter how big or small your business is, you have to take security measures to protect your data, network, customers' information, and reputation.
If you're new to this, we got your back. Here are 7 Cybersecurity Tips to Protect Your Business from attackers:
1. Back up regularly
Back up your data frequently to prevent data loss. Always ensure that you have a backup available so you can restore your data without any loss and check that the backup you have created is working.
2. Keep software up-to-date
Keeping software updated regularly is one of the most effective ways to keep your system safe and secure. Do not use outdated versions and install any new patches for your operating system as soon as it's available.
Patches aren't all about adding new features, it includes security measures to fix vulnerabilities which attackers can use to gain access to your system.
3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA provides additional security measures to verify the users' login. This makes it secure for employees to safely access company data, files, and shared documents without putting the company at risk.
4. Install anti-virus and anti-malware software
Protect your business from cyber threats by installing anti-virus and anti-malware software and update them regularly.
5. Using a Firewall
The firewall prevents malicious traffics by reviewing incoming and outgoing traffic and blocks off those which are not legitimate. It will also alert you whenever there are any malicious activities on your network.

VPN protects your company's privacy when employees trying to access company data through outside Wi-Fi or hotspots. It prevents strangers from eavesdropping on your traffic from unsecured networks.

Prevent hackers from easily accessing your company accounts or network by using different and complex passwords for different accounts.
