Indiana: Protect your Small Business Against Rising Cyber Threats
- Train employees in security principles. Establish basic security practices and policies for employees, such as requiring strong passwords.
- Passwords and authentication. Require employees to use unique passwords and change passwords regularly. Consider implementing multi-factor authentication that requires additional information beyond a password to gain entry.
- Protect information, computers, and networks from cyber-attacks. Having the latest security software, web browser, and operating system are the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats.
- Provide firewall security for your Internet connection. A firewall is a set of related programs that prevent outsiders from accessing data on a private network.
- Make backup copies of important business data and information. Regularly backup the data on all computers.
- Secure your Wi-Fi networks. If you have a Wi-Fi network for your workplace, make sure it is secure, encrypted, and hidden.
- Employ best practices on payment cards. Work with banks or processors to ensure the most trusted and validated tools and anti-fraud services are being used.
