More than 99% of cyber attacks require human interaction to succeed. Human error is inevitable. So it begs the question, does your #business have a cyber readiness plan?
#MID #ITsupport #cybersecurity
Hypothetically speaking, if your #business was attacked today, would you be able to take all the blows that come with that attack? It's a serious question to ask yourself.
#SMBs are no longer in #business because of these cyber-attacks. Preventative measures are necessary to protect what you worked so hard to attain.

PSA: As a courtesy reminder - back up everything!
Data is the lifeblood of your #business. Follow the 3-2-1 method for backups; a minimum of three unique copies of your data, two available locally and one off-site, or in the cloud. Make sure to test your backups often for functionality and integrity.

One of the most costly mistakes that users make is using the same password for multiple websites or tools. This is where a password management tool can help! They can generate random passwords for each access point and even generate a new password each time you need to login to that website or tool. We believe in two-factor authentication where even if you do log in, there is an additional step that is required to identify who you are.
We get, it might sound like a nuisance, but isn't it better to be annoyed at something then having lost all of your critical data?

With the increasing risks of cyberthreats, the United States Department of Defense has enacted to create an interim DFARS clause which could hinder your ability to bid on defense contracts if you are not compliant with the new CMMC v1 standards. These interim clauses go into effect November 30, 2020. The best thing to do if you are a defense contractor and handle controlled unclassified information is to contact a risk consultant who can assist you to conduct GAP assessments. Do not get caught, get educated and take action before the United States Department of Defense does.
