Since cyberattack strategies and malware are constantly evolving, it is crucial to keep your cybersecurity measures comprehensive and up-to-date. The following checklist can help you protect yourself and your business from a cyberattack.
Your Cybersecurity Checklist
1 – Cybersecurity Assessment
To start, you need to assess where you stand in terms of cybersecurity. An evaluation will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to find the best services to protect your business.
2 – Anti-Spam Solution
A trusted and efficient anti-spam service should be your first line of defense. This program should work 24/7 to filter out any cyberattacks from your email.
3 – Secure Passwords
Most people use the same password across multiple devices and often do not change them for years. Ensure you create strong passwords and update them regularly to keep all accounts safe. Implement security policies such as limiting user access and session timeouts for extra security.
4 – Security Awareness Training
Educate your employees—knowledge is power! Human error is the number one reason why cyber attacks are successful. All users should be familiar with how to identify cyber threats and how to respond properly.
5 – Advanced Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Applying advanced technology will monitor and protect your devices 24/7. EDR actively defends against malware, viruses, and potential cyberattacks like ransomware.
