Information technology and broadband are significant drivers of productivity and efficiency growth for small firms as they expand into new markets. To counter the escalating cybersecurity risks, organizations must have a cybersecurity strategy in place to safeguard their own operations, their clients, and their data.

Establish fundamental cybersecurity procedures and regulations for staff members, such as mandating strong passwords, and acceptable Internet usage standards that spell out the consequences of breaking the organization’s cybersecurity rules. Create guidelines on how you manage and protect customer information and other important data. - ??????? ???????????, ?????????, ??? ???????? ???? ????? ???????
Maintain clean computers: The best defense against viruses, malware, and other online risks is to use the most recent versions of your operating system, web browser, and security software. A scan should be performed following each update of antivirus software. As soon as new updates for other crucial software become available, install them. - ??????? ???????? ???????? ??? ???? ???????? ??????????
A firewall is a group of connected programs that guard against unauthorized access to information on a private network. Check to see if the operating system’s firewall is activated, or install online-available, free firewall software. Make sure any home systems that employees use for work are firewall-protected - ?????? ? ?????? ?????? ?????? ????
Mobile devices can pose serious security and management difficulties, particularly if they contain sensitive data or have access to the company network. To stop thieves from stealing data while a phone is connected to a public network, mandate that users password-protect their devices, encrypt their data, and install security software. Establish reporting processes for equipment that has been lost or stolen. - ???? ?????? ?????? ?? ????????? ???????? ???? ??? ???????????
Make regular backups of all computer data. Word processing files, electronic spreadsheets, databases, financial files, human resources files, and accounts receivable/payable files are examples of critical data. Data should be automatically backed up, if at all possible, or at least once a week, and copies should be kept offsite or in the cloud. - ??????? ???????? ?????? ?? ???? ????????? ??? ?????? ???? ???????? ??? ???? ????????
Prevent unauthorized users from accessing or using company computers. Locking up laptops when left unattended will prevent theft or loss since they are easy targets. Make sure each employee has their own user account, and insist on using strong passwords. Only important people and trusted IT staff should be granted administrative privileges. - ?????? ???? ??-?? ????????
Make sure your office’s Wi-Fi network is hidden, encrypted, and secure if you have one. Set up your wireless access point or router so it does not broadcast the network name, sometimes referred to as the Service Set Identifier, in order to conceal your Wi-Fi network (SSID). Access to the router is secured by passwords. - ?????? ???? ????????? ?? ??????? ?????
Make use of the most reliable and verified tools and anti-fraud services by working with banks or processors. Additional security requirements may be imposed on you in accordance with contracts with your bank or processor. Use different computers to process payments and browse the Internet, and isolate payment systems from other, less secure programs. - ????? ???????? ?????? ?? ???? ??? ???????????, ????? ????????? ?? ??????? ????????
Don’t let a single employee have access to all the data systems. Employees shouldn’t be allowed to install any software without permission, and they should only be granted access to the specific data systems that they require for their tasks. - ????????? ??? ??????????????
Make it mandatory for employees to use special passwords and to update them every three months. Consider using multi-factor authentication, which requires more than just a password to obtain access. Determine whether your vendors who deal with sensitive data, particularly financial institutions, offer multi-factor authentication for your account by checking with them.
