October is cybersecurity month. While it is easier than ever to connect to the internet, it is also easier than ever for criminals to try to gain access to your device and your information.
But, not only being an accountant but also a computer geek 🤓, here are a few steps you can take to improve your cybersecurity:
• Use strong passwords and change them regularly
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible
• Be careful about what information you share online
• Keep your software up to date
• Use a firewall and antivirus software
• Be aware of phishing scams
• Back up your data regularly
Making sure your personal (and, if applicable, your business) data is secure, backed up and out of the hands of criminals is a priority. If you need more information about any of the above, reach out to me and our office, along with our sister company, BazingaWeb.com (which specializes in web development, cybersecurity and business online services), and we will ensure that you and your information is protected :)
