Cyberattacks have increased in frequency and maliciousness, including phishing, ransomware, and distributed denial of service attacks against networks. Growing cyber threats to business reputation, operations, and intellectual property theft can impact your business’s ongoing viability.

Businesses of all sizes and sectors need increased cyber security diligence.  While larger enterprises have more data and often greater ransom demands, smaller business systems are usually easier to breach by hackers or bad actors.

To lower your risk of being hacked, everyone should take into account the following cyber hygiene guidelines:

• Have a risk management plan that examines particular requirements and vulnerabilities as well as facilitates incident response. Your plan should cover the ramifications of new technologies such artificial intelligence and their potential use in cyber protection.
• On a regular basis, follow release dates, patches, and upgrades on your operating system, networks, and devices.
• Make sure your passwords are strong and not easy to guess; mandate passwords should have at least 8 characters with least one capital letter, one number and one special symbol.
• Include authentication, for most sensitive access you should use biometrics.
• Consider using strong encryption on sensitive date, preferably quantum-resistant.
• Use Identity Access management and a Zero Trust approach; know what people and devices are in your business networks and what user privileges each person has.
• All employees should be educated and reeducated on an annual basis with quarterly reminders about how to use social media responsibly and stay alert to phishing attempts. Note: employees are the #1 risk for your business’s cyber security.
• Regularly back-up your sensitive business data. Think about keeping a copy of the information on a machine that is not in your business network.
• All the employees should stay clear of public networks, and if you must use one then use a VPN.
• If your business lacks the knowledge to manage the above cyber security measures, then consider using a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) or Managed Service provider (MSP) who can assess, upgrade, and safeguard your business’s cyber assets.

It is not just cyber hygiene that is important, but also having a strategy to stay secure and be resilient.

• Take a risk management approach. Be proactive: be alert, train staff, discover gaps in your business’s security, and mitigate vulnerabilities to reduce risks. Owners and responsible managers should be familiar with the guiding principles of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover.
• Now that generative artificial intelligence and machine learning tools are increasingly in use and sophistication by attackers and defenders alike, it is important to consider all components (people, technologies, procedures, and policies) of cyber security.
• The foundation of cyber security is communication. Business owners and management must coordinate their objectives, work together, and evaluate the businesses information security programs, controls, and network safety on a regular basis. Preparedness comes from the exchange of threat intelligence and innovative security advances, plus it is essential that all people using the systems receive security awareness training.
• Effective cyber security needs expertise. If your business does not have it internally, find reliable help outside. Owners and managers can always benefit from outside knowledge, opinions, and suggestions. Areas of special expertise should include policy, cyber security technology solutions and services, training, legal compliance, liability insurance, and governance.
• New cyber technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, cloud and edge computing, and quantum computing are impacting the landscape. It is important to understand and use them in defense of your business.

Cyber security is becoming more sophisticated, plan and act now to defend your business from cyber-attack.
