Top Cyber Security Tips for 2022!
Top Tips for Cyber Security from Dane Reid from Computing Today who presented at the NBNCo Wangaratta Business Breakfast:
- Always gain verbal confirmation on change of banking details (i.e. if you have suppliers setup in your system, never accept email confirmation of a change to their details. Phone the company using their registered number to confirm).
- Don’t give any details to anyone cold calling about accessing your computer
- Setup multi-factor authentication on all accounts especially financial & email, storage etc.
- Don’t open unknown or unexpected links in emails or Text Messages. Go to the company website directly.
- Check the senders email address in suspect emails which may be phishing campaigns. Do this by hovering your mouse pointer over the underlined email address in the From field.
- Have I been pwned! Check if your accounts have been compromised at https://haveibeenpwned.com/
- Scan suspicious files attached to email before opening if you must open it.
- Be aware of websites which are either not using https:// or a valid certificate for the website.
- Look at using a password manager or at least don’t store passwords in simple files etc.
- Enterprise level accounts (Microsoft 365 / G-Suite) typically have additional security features and worth considering.
- Backup, backup & backup. There is no substitute.
