Smaller organisations may think they’re not at risk but as highlighted by recent government statistics, smaller organisations are more likely to be victims, especially those with less resources in place.
It’s important to note that these breaches weren’t complex in nature, resulting from social engineering attacks, in which the cyber criminals pretended to be from the organisation’s IT team.
Some quick and simple techniques you can implement today:
Lock your screen (Windows + L) when leaving your computer
Never share passwords, even with someone claiming to be from IT
Verify calls or emails asking for access or credentials
✔ Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
✔ Limit who has Administrator access and regularly check if access is legitimate
✔ Use monitoring to prevent unauthorised access
✔ Implement regular employee training and review policies
If you need help reviewing your Cyber Security defences or increases employee awareness and knowledge, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
