From computers to cell phones, tablets, and more, we are constantly connected and sharing data with the world. With October being Cybersecurity Awareness Month, our team here at ICC have gathered some tips to make sure you stay on top of your cybersecurity measures to keep your data protected.
Hackers will send emails disguised as shipping confirmations, past due notices, or emails from your boss. Take a second to think before you click, check the email address, and make sure nothing looks out of the ordinary.
Multi-factor authentication is an extra layer of protection when accessing your data. Once you enter your password, a code is sent to confirm your identity. MFA makes it harder for hackers to access your account.
Make sure to stay on top of all updates so your system isn’t left vulnerable to hackers. Outdated security measures and technology can put your system at risk or may cause crashes or downtime. An assessment conducted by the ICC team will help to ensure that your business’ software is up to date and secure.
Anything could happen at any time and it is best to be prepared! Back up your system often to improve restore times and accuracy. Work with our IT professionals at ICC and they will help you set a plan for backing up your data that suits your needs.
Joining unsafe networks from your personal device when accessing company information could put your data at risk. Speak with us about safe ways to access this information and how to manage your risk.
