Smart business owners protect against the ever-increasing risk of data breaches and cyber liability.

How many businesses use computers? At this point, all businesses use digital filing – with the exception of your daughter’s lemonade stand. From employee records, Social Security Numbers, vendor information, Payroll, and online transactions, most businesses deal with details digitally. As more important and sensitive information piles up on people’s computers, hackers see this as an accessible opportunity for theft!

Skilled hackers are now able to tap into devices within seconds, gaining instant access to sensitive data, emails, online bank accounts, employee records, and more. The more you rely on your smartphone, tablet, and computers to store information digitally, the more vulnerable you are.

If important information was to fall into the wrong hands, you could lose the business and trust of vendors, clients, guests, and your employees. Similarly, if someone was to comment on your website’s forum inappropriate content, not only would you be held liable your company’s reputation could hang in the balance.

• On computers and all phones, enable a PIN code that must be entered at start up.
