The Internet is amazing. It lets us connect, innovate, and learn in ways we never could before. Just like anything that is really powerful, however, it has a dark side, especially for those who explore its hidden corners. If you're into coding or curious about how computer systems work, it's more important than ever to understand the laws around hacking. The consequences for getting caught are serious and are only becoming more so. 

Security is one part of your business that you absolutely cannot ignore. It’s not a matter of if you will experience a cyberattack, but when, and you want to do all you can to be ready for it when it comes. We recommend you prepare by working with professionals to take the fight to cyberthreats. Here are three ways we’ll help your business stay safe from the many cyberthreats out there.

Following the heinous attacks that caused the Twin Towers to fall in New York on September 11, 2001, you heard about terrorism every single day for years. The “War on Terror” waged for over a decade toppled multiple governments and set a precedent that terrorists will be relentlessly pursued. While there have been a few massive terrorist events that have shocked the world in the subsequent years after 9/11, cyberspace has become one of the biggest battlegrounds. Today, we’ll briefly discuss the rise of cyberterrorism.

Phishing attacks are the most common security risk your business faces, and if you’re not careful, you (or your employees) could fall victim to them with ease. All it takes is clicking on the wrong link or downloading the wrong file, and boom, your business is dealing with a full-blown security breach. To prevent this, we want to cover some of the major signs you’re dealing with a phishing message and what you can do about it.

We frequently recommend using a password manager to help keep track of your credentials, given that you only use a standalone password manager—one that isn’t tied to a browser. Why the distinction?

If your business were breached by a cybercriminal, would you be able to figure out what caused the breach in the first place? If you don’t know the answer to this question, we have news for you—you’re far from the only one. A recent survey has shown that most security leaders (67% of those surveyed) don’t know what caused a cybersecurity incident, and it’s a problem that must be addressed.

"I don’t need to worry about cybersecurity… my business is too small to be in the crosshairs of hackers."
