Starting Strong

Welcome back! Some weeks ago, it was “Happy Holidays” and now everyone is back to business and lost in buzz to meet deliverables- how time flies. However, it’s a new year with new vulnerabilities and threat actors emerging. It’s that time of the year where you want to invest in securing your organization, taking proactive stance against being reactive.

It's a fresh start, a new beginning and with that comes making better decisions while reflecting on the previous year. Here’s a few quick tips to kickstart the year:

Reset Your Passwords: Strong, unique passwords are key. Consider using a passphrase or a password manager for added security.

Update Your Software: Check for and install any pending updates to your devices and applications to stay protected from the latest threats.

Beware of Phishing Scams: The new year often brings a surge in phishing emails. Stay vigilant and report anything suspicious.

Secure Your Devices: If you have got new gadgets over the holidays, ensure to put in place strong security settings.

Awareness Training: Ensure your employees are up to date with the latest threats.

Remember, the goal is to stay ahead of cyber threats this year. Wishing you a safe and threat free year.
