One of the biggest threats to any business today is ‘Cybercrime’. Very few if any businesses do not have this risk. Even if you only use email in your business — you are at risk for a cyber criminal targeting you with a phishing email. I received a couple myself in the past couple of days. The tell tale sign was the sending was invoicing me for a product I know I do not use. Norton Antivirus — most people this would get their attention and ignorantly open the attachment or click on a link…. and BAM! — they got you!
For a small business being proactive about Cyber Security is easy to do — and extremely important to be consistent with. Are you keeping your computers up to date with operating system patches? They come out about 1 x a week. Is your antivirus software scanning regularly? Are you saving passwords in your browser? Sure way to give the cyber criminal access to your accounts. Are you regularly talking to your employees about what to look for in phishing emails or to not click on advertisements on web sites?
