TECH CYBER SECURITY 50 Cybercrime is on the increase and when it comes to your Internet security - prevention is better than cure MAN MAGAZINE SUMMER 2019 sevenstarmedia.co.uk
TECH sevenstarmedia.co.uk Here are simple ways that you can improve your Internet security, helping to protect your personal identity, your business and your customers: 1. Train yourself, your family and any staff in the importance of data security and encourage them to report concerns. Make sure the process for spotting and reporting is written up into formal policies and delivered consistently. When it comes to family awareness, have open discussions about the risks, and monitor young children’s online usage always. 2. Test cyber security awareness through fun games and mock phishing attacks, recognising positive and proactive behaviour through recognition awards at work. Phishing is when fake emails are sent with links to false pages that are guised to look like the official page i.e. a login for online banking. 3. Authenticate invoices or any requests for changes in account details via phone to prevent false payments. This stands for family transactions too – always double check the details for new transfers and large amounts. For large payments transfer £1 and check it has arrived before paying the remainder of the invoice. 4. Computers, routers and firewalls often have default passwords that are widely known, change these straightaway. Enforce a safe password policy where employees use separate passwords for separate accounts, ensuring that passwords are long and passwords are kept secure. Try using three random words to come up with your password, this helps it to be secure and memorable, and then introduce upper and lower case letters, numbers and characters, to avoid being predictable. 5. Implement a Bring Your Own Device Policy (BYOD): Limit employees using personal phones and computers for work – you need control of your data and their security. Restrict or even ban the use of USB sticks, disks and other devices that can transfer data and viruses. This may be extreme but it’s great for work, also avoid using personal USB sticks in other people’s devices. 6. Ensure all devices are protected by a firewall and anti-virus software; if you are on a budget there are lots of reputable free versions of anti-virus software that you can install. You might want to upgrade to an even more robust version later, but something is better than nothing. If you do go for a free version of software, make sure you do your research before you install it, you don’t want to introduce new risks. 7. Back-up your important data at least daily: this ensures that you will still have access to the data you need to operate your business if the worst happens. The backup should be secure and off site and make sure that the backup is tested to prove it works. 8. Limit access of users and change simple settings to reduce the amount of damage that can be done if an attack occurs. Make sure all updates are installed on all devices as soon 9. as they become available. Often attacks will be automated to search for vulnerabilities that are known, so those who don’t update are often caught out. Older software systems such as Windows XP are extremely vulnerable as updates are no longer released. 5 QUICK WAYS Edit some simple settings on your PC such as disabling ‘auto-run’. Set up computers so they are in ‘user’ mode not ‘administrator’ mode, when used day to day. Set restriction of ‘users’ so that they cannot install new programmes without authorisation from an Administrator. OFTEN ATTACKS WILL BE AUTOMATED TO SEARCH FOR VULNERABILITIES THAT ARE KNOWN Segregate your IT system so people have access to the information that they need for their work. You can even have your family on separate usernames on the home PC. Consider getting professional advice – do 10. your research and enlist the help of an experienced advisor – cyber insurance is still considered in its infancy and the quality of policies on offer can vary enormously, but as a business it is worth consideration and even if you wish to protect your personal data at home. These steps will improve your cyber security, reducing the risk to your business, and personal identity. www.sutcliffeinsurance.co.uk MAN MAGAZINE SUMMER 2019 51
