The day is designed to\nrecognise the work of these businesses in local and global economies and to raise\nawareness of their contributions to sustainable development. Many of these\nbusinesses employ fewer than 250 people, yet they form the backbones of\neconomies worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No\nbusiness, whether large or small, can afford to ignore cybersecurity, and the\npressure to protect businesses is mounting as cybercriminals hone their skills\nto target a company\u2019s weakest points. While bigger corporations generally have\nlarge IT departments to respond to evolving threats such as crypto-jacking and\nransomware attacks, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) don\u2019t have these\nhuge IT teams to protect them. But cybersecurity needn\u2019t be a daunting\nchallenge for small business owners, and there are several key steps that can be\ntaken to significantly reduce the chances of your business becoming a victim of\ncybercrime. These steps can save your business time, money and even your\nreputation. Moreover, SMEs that manage their cybersecurity effectively will\nhave a competitive advantage in today\u2019s online and interactive world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Back up your data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nis imperative that in the digital age, businesses are making data backup and\nprotection a high priority. It\u2019s important to think about how much your\nbusiness relies on data, whether that\u2019s customer information, quotes, orders or\npayment details \u2013 all can be considered critical. All SMEs need to ensure that\nthey are making backups of their data, and that these are done regularly and\ncan be restored. The backups should always be kept separate from your computer.\nThis is so the business can keep functioning if anything bad does happen. Furthermore,\nif you have backups of your data that you can quickly recover, you can&#8217;t be\nblackmailed through ransomware attacks. It is worth considering storing the\nbackups in the cloud \u2013 as well as being separate from your computer, it is also\noften a cheaper solution for SMEs. This is because cloud providers supply your\norganisation with data storage and web services without you needing to invest\nin expensive hardware up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep\nyour devices safe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile\ntechnology is now an essential part of any modern business, with more of our\ndata being stored on tablets and smartphones. However, it\u2019s a regular\noccurrence in businesses that devices go missing, get lost or get stolen, and\nmany of these devices contain important data too. To protect this information,\nall employees should be encouraged to use a suitably complex PIN or password to\nsecure their device. Ideally you should ensure all lost or stolen devices can\nbe tracked, locked or wiped remotely. On top of that, all devices should always\nhave their software kept up to date as manufacturers often include security updates\nto keep devices protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use\nstrong passwords<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\nmentioned above, all employees should use password protection on their devices.\nPasswords, when implemented correctly, are a free, easy and effective way to\nprevent unauthorised users from accessing devices. Use two-factor\nauthentication (2FA) on your important accounts such as email and account\nmanagement dashboards. This means that even if an attacker knows your\npasswords, they still won\u2019t be able to access that account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protect\nyourself from malware and phishing attacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malware\n(malicious software) is software intended to infiltrate and damage or disable\ncomputers and can often be distributed through phishing attacks in which scammers\nsend fake emails asking for sensitive information or containing links to bad\nwebsites. The first step in protecting your business from malware and phishing\nattacks is ensuring that all employees always exercise caution before opening\nany attachments, clicking on links in emails or visiting unfamiliar websites.\nThe second is ensuring that your software is up to date and that all relevant\nprotection is applied. Finally, all SMEs should run antivirus and intrusion\ndetection software, which can determine when an infection is about to take\nplace and prevent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At ESET, we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eset.com\/ee\/business\/endpoint-protection-advanced-cloud\/\">ESET Endpoint Protection Advanced Cloud<\/a> for small businesses.
