Here are some practical tips that any small business can implement today to strengthen your organization’s cybersecurity:

Train employees on how to spot malicious emails and phone calls

· Create unique and complex passwords for all accounts

Keep track of systems and software that store critical business data

· Use multi-factor authentication for high-risk systems

Engage an independent third party to check your organization’s systems for vulnerabilities

Companies interested in learning more about these tips or learning more about cybersecurity topics are invited to the Cybersecurity Symposium on October 12.
