Key Cyber Takeaways
December 12, 2024
If you are a small to medium sized business owner
- Train your high risk staff (eg: Recruiters, Customer Service) on your business specific cybersecurity risks and teach them what not to do.
- Separate work and personal devices. Never use personal devices and personal email addresses for business purposes and vice versa.
- Harden your work laptops: Remove unnecessary software and browser extensions
- Perform all your online transactions including personal finance, banking, investments only on a hardened device.
- Use a 3rd party secure file sharing service to send/receive sensitive information from your customers. Eg: Candidate PII data, Credit card information etc.,
- Outsource all compliance related activities such as Payroll and Payment Processing
- Include a standard cybersecurity contract clause with your 3rd party vendors/partners to reduce your business risks.
- Expect the unexpected / consider cyber liability insurance.
- Staff posting on social media could impact your company brand image. Establish a social media policy describing what NOT to do in social media for all your staff
- Change vendor-provided DEFAULT passwords and disable GUEST access on all your apps.
If you shop online or through your mobile device
- Use Multi-Factor authentication on all critical apps (Your Personal Finance, anywhere you store credit cards online).
- Using your mobile digital wallets (eg: Apple Pay) for payments is far more secure than paying through stored credit cards on 3rd party websites.
- Avoid public WIFI when you shop online from your mobile phone
- Lean in on Chromebooks. Arguably, Chromebooks are more secure, have lesser attack surface and are easier to maintain than regular laptops.
- Download your mobile apps only from Apple App Store or Google Play Store and not anywhere else.
- Setup purchase alerts on your credit cards to notify you so you can detect unauthorized purchases sooner.
- Periodically, remove unneeded apps from your mobile devices.
- Review your credit card statements on a monthly basis and review your credit scores annually.
If you are a High Net Worth Investor
- If you don’t actively trade your Retirement Account, ask your provider if they can incorporate a lock (account freeze) on your account (You can unlock it when you need to) to minimize fraudulent activities.
- Always use Two Factor Authentication on all your financial transactions.
- Use a dedicated hardened device (on a chromebook preferably) to perform all your financial transactions on. Avoid using this device for general web browsing or email.
- If feasible, use a separate dedicated email account for your financial communications
- Turn off voice activated devices (Eg: Amazon Echo) where you work.
- Setup 3 kinds of alerts on your financial accounts: 1) login attempts; 2) transactions done over a certain threshold; 3) changes in account settings.
- Educate your family on good cyber hygiene as they can be your weakest links used as targets to pivot to your money by attackers.
- Make it a practice to never click on links from your emails if you don’t recognize the sender as a trusted source.
