Cyber-crime is a massive issue in the world of the internet and data protection. There are cyber breaches happening to small, medium and large companies. Yet some companies are still not doing anything about this increasing issue even with the damaging consequences.

 

If you own a business, then it is vital that you keep your businesses data secure. Which is why we have created these 5 top tips to help you protect yourself against cyber-crime and safeguard your online assets.

 

#1 PASSWORD PROTECT YOUR DEVICE

 

This may seem like an obvious solution, yet you will be surprised how many people don’t have a password on their device, in fact 33% of Android users do not have a password on their phone.

 

Additionally, the most common password on any device is either ‘123456’ or ‘Pasword123’. These types of passwords are prone to cyber-attacks.

 

#2 DO NOT USE PUBLIC WI-FI

 

It is tempting to use public Wi-Fi when on the go. However, it can be a very dangerous game, as this is one of the most common ways hackers can hack in to your computer and access data. Where possible use a secure access, this way it will be harder for hackers to access information from your device.

 

#3 KEEP UP TO DATE

 

Make sure your company is keeping up to date with the latest software updates. This will ensure minimal attacks as the software is aware of the latest attacks and will be able to protect your device from this malware software.

 

#4 HAVE CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE

 

Ensure you have cyber liability insurance with a reputable insurance company. This will give you the peace of mind that if you do unfortunately end up on the receiving end of a cyber-attack then you will be covered for the damage.

 

#5 BACK UP DATA REGULARLY

 

Making sure you back up your data regularly is crucial. In case you do happen to have a breach of data you can always go back to the previous point you backed up, making it easier to recover lost information.
