Protect Your Business from Cyber Crime with These 8 Cyber Essentials

Cyber crime is on the rise, and businesses are suffering huge losses every day from attacks. From stealing sensitive information to infecting devices with ransomware, cyber criminals are becoming more successful and sophisticated every day. The global cost of cyber crime to businesses is expected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025.

To protect your business, it's crucial to take action now.

Here are 8 simple yet essential security measures, which we call "Cyber Essentials," to help you get started. Don't wait until it's too late - take action today to secure your business from cyber threats.

PASSWORDS

As cyber attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, controlling access to your devices and critical business systems is fundamental to staying secure. Hackers target passwords, and they use tech-based brute-force attacks or social engineering to crack them. To safeguard your business, enforce password policies that require employees to use strong passwords of at least 8 to 10 characters. Remember, length is more important than complexity when it comes to password strength. To protect against brute-force attacks, configure user accounts to lockout after 10 failed login attempts.
