What COVID-19 Prevention Measures Can Teach Us About Preventing Cyber Attacks |
|
The rush to digitize brought on by COVID-19 has made it open season for cyber criminals. Hackers have been increasingly targeting small and medium sized businesses. They tend to have smaller, or no, IT budgets leading to greater digital vulnerabilities.
How does a business protect itself from breaches and viruses? You don’t have to look much further than the advice we’ve been hearing for the past year on how to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
- “Social Distance”: Off-site cloud storage and data backup can keep your business running in the event of natural or cyber disaster.
- “Wear a Mask”: Installation of and management of firewalls along with antivirus protection can prevent thieves from gaining access to your data.
- “Wash Your Hands”: Constantly educate employees about cyber threats (phishing scams, suspicious websites, etc.) and how to spot and avoid them.
- “Vaccinate”: A Cyber Liability insurance policy will give you peace of mind. In the event you are exposed, your business is protected financially and the impact will be drastically reduced.
