Stay Safe, there’s too many ‘Phish’ in the Internet.

If your parents have ever told you ‘there’s too many fish in the sea, be careful’…the same principle can be applied to ‘there is too many “Phish” in the Internet’ – Get it…Phishing (act of attempting to acquire personal data such as usernames and passwords)… well the point is security is a big concern for growing businesses. As your organisation expands, you may be unaware of all the factors that occur when it comes to keeping your personal data secure from hackers, Phishing, and other malicious activities. The more your business grows, the more you realise your time is so precious, that your mind is occupied with other tasks. The reality is that you get lost in your own world, and you forget about the not so obvious security issues that can occur because all energy and focus is on maintaining and growing your business.

Security and protecting your personal data is the utmost important issue for any businesses and individuals. When it comes to security attacks, we all can say that the worse ones are the ones that we least expect to see happen…those silent ones that we don’t see coming. And not just that, we are unprepared for it and they can go undetected for much longer. Until we are aware of the different type of security issues out there, then we might consider investigating them.

Here are the top 3 Tips to look out for;

Educate your employees

Highlight ‘Data Safety’ to all your employees. Just like how your employees want to keep their home safe by locking their doors and shutting their windows before they leave for the work. Educate your employees to keep the company data secure. E.g. don’t leave passwords lying around on a printed sheet on your desk.

Printers

All businesses will own and use a printer, either a single-function printer or a multifunction printer that has print, fax, scan, and copy capabilities. Did you know that almost all the printers and photocopiers in an office have a built in hard drive in the printer that stores every single document that we scan, copy, print or fax. Now what would happen if someone was to hack your printer over the network; especially if your printer has Wi-Fi capability and is a shared network printer? It is worrying the number of private documents that we scan, print, fax and copy every day. Keep your printed private documents secure and away from unauthorised access.

Security

Last of all; always protect your most valuable assets in your business even if it costs more. Ensure that it is protected to the maximum level possible. Also think about other people’s data as well, protect your customers data too. That is why due to the significant growth of the e-commerce industry, many security measures have been placed to protect valuable customers’ data.
