Recognize and report phishing attacks through SMS or TEXT or Email and DO NOT Click on Links from recipients you do not recognize.
USE PASSWORD GENERATORS OR MANAGERS. Strong passwords are the first and foremost line of defense in cyberattacks. Employees like to use passwords they can easily remember which weakens this line of defense. Always use a secure password with at least 16 characters long, made up of a unique mix of lower and upper case letters, symbols, numbers and special characters.
Enable two factor Authentication. It is always a good idea to add that extra layer of security for two factor authentication whenever you log in to secure data.
Protect Data and use secure wifi. Don't share the wifi password with anyone, if you want guests to access the internet make a guest wifi with very limited access to your network. When outside of work and accessing client data, use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to protect your data. Do not just use any free WIFI that is open to attacks. Finally store and back up data with approved storage devices or cloud access with encryption.
