In the past few months, many large retailers, including Target, Michaels, and Neiman Marcus, have experienced massive data breaches. For most business owners, the rising amount of data breaches is extremely concerning. Do your employees practice appropriate security measures while using the Internet? Unfortunately, there\u2019s no way to be certain.<\/p>\n
So how do you maintain the confidentiality of your information? While it\u2019s impossible to be completely safe online, here\u2019s 5 tips to help you mitigate the risk:<\/p>\n
When it comes to online shopping and online banking, it\u2019s critical to use a trusted website, rather than selecting a random website through a search engine. If you\u2019re familiar with the company and website, type the URL into the address bar to ensure you\u2019re visiting the legitimate webpage.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t purchase from or provide personal information to a website that doesn\u2019t have SSL encryption installed. Also, look for a padlock icon beside the URL in the address bar and always make sure the URL starts with HTTPS:\/\/.<\/i><\/p>\n Always avoid public Wi-Fi unless it\u2019s absolutely necessary. If you must use a public Wi-Fi network, use a virtual private network (VPN) to ensure you\u2019re browsing securely. A VPN sends traffic through a private tunnel to encrypt data and protect information.<\/p>\n A reputable financial institution won\u2019t ask for login details via email. If you receive an email asking for sensitive information, contact your bank to verify. Otherwise, consider it a phishing attempt and do not reply.<\/p>\n If there\u2019s a security update available for your computer, smartphone, or tablet, make sure you install the update immediately. Also, install anti-virus software and a firewall to protect your computer.<\/p>\n Of course, these tips will not prevent malware, viruses, and various security threats entirely. If you follow these tips, you can mitigate the risk, however, it\u2019s important to go above and beyond these tips to ensure maximum cyber-security.<\/p>\n {company} can provide a complete cyber-security audit to detect and resolve the security threats and vulnerabilities that your business faces on a daily basis. <\/b><\/p>\n Our team of IT professionals will visit your office to review your current security measures.
