The problem comes from within

While it’s true the average business is cyber-attacked every twelve seconds (!), your number one threat comes from inside the house. Most security breaches are a result of employees not following security best practices.

These aren’t criminals working from the inside — they are your honest, friendly co-workers, doing their jobs as productively and smoothly as they can. But they’re not locking the front door.

 

Making them familiar with and enforcing these policies can make a huge difference. From the company that offers businesses free monitoring of their cloud environment, here are some free but effective things you can do that don’t cost a dime.  

In the meantime, here are 7 free ways to keep your company safe: 

1. Always use a private Wi-Fi network (with a complex password!)  
2. Never use personal emails on company devices. 
3. Don’t allow use of unauthorized third-party apps 
4. Use 2-factor authentication. 2FA asks you to confirm your identity after entering a password. This means that even if someone steals your password, they still can’t log in to your account. 
5. Enforce a policy of using passwords with upper- and lower-case letters, a number and special characters. SOm3tHinG.LikE_Thi5! 
6. Forbid non-employees from using work-issued devices  
7. Sign up for free monitoring from Coro Cybersecurity
