3. Always use secure passwords
Secure passwords are essential to build your business’ cyber defences. Best practices include:
• Using 12 or more characters, which should include uppercase and lowercase letters alongside numbers and symbols.
• Ensuring you don’t include your name or personal information (such as your birthday or year of birth) in the password.
• Implementing multi-factor authentication where possible.
4. Keep an eye out for phishing emails
Cyber criminals send fraudulent emails impersonating trusted organisations or individuals, prompting the recipient to click on malicious attachments or links. They aim to capture personal information, login credentials, or financial information such as credit card details. We’ve provided some tips below to help you identify one of these threats, however if you’re unsure you should contact the company or person claiming to have sent the email directly.
Signs of a phishing email include:
• Urgent requests to provide or confirm sensitive information.
• If the email address isn’t from a verified domain.
• Poor spelling or grammar.
• Inconsistent branding when compared with previous emails.
• Suspicious links or attachments – you can hover over these to preview the destination address, but you should never click on links you don’t trust as they can direct you to a malicious website or download malware.
