Protect Your Business: Get a Cyber Health Check Today
Aussie business owners are being urged to take immediate action following a series of high-profile cyberattacks that have impacted everyday families across the country. Hackers are no longer just targeting traditional IT systems but are now exploiting vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices like printers, blinds, and even lighting systems.
At JSB Technology, we understand that cybersecurity is crucial for businesses of all sizes, from local fish and chip shops to major corporations. That’s why we’re offering a comprehensive Cyber Health Check to help you identify potential threats and secure your digital assets.
Recent incidents, such as the Medibank and Optus hacks, have shown how devastating a cyberattack can be. Shockingly, 56% of large Australian companies have experienced a ransomware attack since 2018, with 73% of them paying a ransom. Don’t let your business become another statistic.
Update Your Software Regularly
Keeping your software up to date is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect your business. This doesn’t just apply to your computers and tablets—every internet-connected device, from your office lighting to your printers, needs regular updates. Outdated software can be a gateway for hackers, so make sure you’re always running the latest versions to minimise vulnerabilities.
Use a Password Manager
Having a good password manager app is so important, gone are the days of simple passwords doing the job, you need long, random and secure passwords and the best way to manage this is with a password app, preferably one that requires two-factor for you to access the app. The other really important step with passwords that is pretty much essential now is two-factor authentication, using a phone number or email isn’t enough security anymore, using an authenticator app is recommended as these will cycle through random numbers on a timer making it uch harder for hackers to gain access to your accounts.
Be Cautious About What You Post Online
The information you share online can be more valuable to hackers than you might think. Details that seem insignificant can be pieced together to create a profile that makes guessing your passwords easier. Always think twice before posting personal or business-related information, and consider how it could be used to compromise your security.
Don’t wait for a breach to happen. Contact JSB Technology today to schedule your Cyber Health Check and safeguard your business against cyber threats.
