Cybersecurity was pretty simple back in the 1990s. Anti-virus software and firewalls offered plenty of resources to combat attacks that were more annoying than dangerous, that world is gone.

Cybersecurity threats pose significant risks to businesses, particularly those that have poor security measures in place.

The vast majority of all breaches happen to small and medium-sized businesses, and most of the breaches could have been prevented with current technology.

If you are responsible for protecting your data and confidential information from hackers and other cyber threats, take the time to review these best practices. It could make the difference in guarding against potentially ruinous data theft or privacy invasions.

The stronger the passwords you use are, the more secure you will be against potential cyber attacks. we made a short introduction to strong passwords here:

Firewall

Make use of services and rules for both in and outside threats, most people only think about outside threats coming in but with communications today, IM, email, social media, USB the threat is just as likely to come from inside, assume the worst.

If you have a UTM (Unified ThreManagementmnt) device a good start is to deny sites based on content as well as know security risks.

Encryption

Whenever possible, the goal is to encrypt files at rest, in motion (think email) and especially on mobile devices.
