🛡️ 1. Lock the Front Door (Passwords + MFA)

Still using “Password123”? Congratulations—you’ve already been hacked in spirit.

  • Use a password manager (because no one can actually remember 63 random characters).
  • Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). It’s like having a security guard for your email who actually shows up to work.

.

Phishing🎣 2. Don’t Take the Bait (Phishing)

That email promising you a free iPad? Not real. That text from “Microsoft” saying your account is locked? Definitely not real.

  • Hover over links before clicking.
  • Check the sender’s email address. “ceo@lawfirm.com” ≠ “ceo@Iawfirm.com”
        The second email has a capital “i” instead of a “l”: “ceo@lawfirm.com” vs. “ceo@Iawfirm.com”
  • If it smells fishy, it’s probably phishing.

🔄 3. Update or Regret It (Software Patching)

Those pop-up reminders to update your software aren’t nagging you—they’re saving your bacon. Every patch is basically a lock upgrade. Hackers love old software like raccoons love unattended trash cans.

.

💾 4. Back It Up, Back It Up

Your data is your livelihood. Back it up like your job depends on it—because it does.

  • Automatic cloud backups = no excuses.
  • Think of it as digital insurance. (And unlike real insurance, backups actually give you your stuff back.)

People Security problem🧑‍🤝‍🧑 5. Remember: People Are the Weakest Link

It’s not firewalls or encryption that usually fail—it’s Dave in accounting clicking “Enable Macros.”

  • A little cybersecurity training goes a long way.
  • Make it part of the office culture: if you wouldn’t give your house keys to a stranger, don’t give your password to one either.
