In this blog, we will uncover the deadly cybersecurity sins that many business owners commit and, more importantly, how to redeem themselves from them. Read on to strengthen your company’s digital strength!

Mistake: you think your company’s data is safe just because “nothing has ever happened”?

Solution: implement a strategy of regular backups, preferably in the cloud, unalterable, encrypted and with access through double authentication. It is vital to have a PROVEN recovery plan.

Mistake: do you think that a free or non-regularly updated antivirus is enough to protect you?

Solution: Invest in enterprise-grade antivirus solutions and make sure to keep them up to date. These act as a first wall of defense against malware and other threats. In addition, it implements advanced prevention and protection solutions such as Endpoint Detection and Response, to keep you ahead of cybercriminals.

Mistake: are you using free email services for business purposes, compromising security and professional image?

Solution: Adopt business email solutions that offer enhanced security, personalization and professionalism. It is crucial to protect your mail server both in receiving and sending.

Error: do you offer the same WiFi access to customers, employees and visitors?

Solution: Establish WiFi-separate networks for guests and employees, with secure passwords and WPA2 or higher encryption, thus minimizing exposure to threats.

Error: Do you store passwords in Excel or similar files, easily accessible by any intruder?

Solution: Use dedicated password managers with strong encryption to securely store and manage access to credentials. It also adds extra protection by adding two-factor authentication.

Error: granting administrator permissions to all users, making the attackers’ job easier.

Solution: Apply the principle of least privilege, granting administrator permissions only to those who really need them and establishing strict controls over these privileges.
