Most breaches start with a person, not a firewall. These habits stop the majority of everyday attacks.
Share these with your team — a few minutes of awareness prevents hours of cleanup.
Phishing emails create urgency: "Your account will be suspended," "Invoice overdue," "CEO needs gift cards." Hover over links to see the real destination, and verify unexpected requests through a second channel — call the sender, don't reply to the email.
Reused passwords are how one breached website becomes ten breached accounts. A password manager generates and remembers strong, unique passwords so your team doesn't have to.
MFA blocks the vast majority of account-takeover attacks, even when a password is stolen. Enable it everywhere — email first, since email resets everything else.
Attackers exploit known, already-patched vulnerabilities far more often than new ones. Install updates promptly on computers, phones, browsers, and network equipment.
Ransomware turns "we have backups" into the most important sentence in your business. Follow the 3-2-1 rule: three copies, two different media, one off-site. A backup you've never restored from is a hope, not a plan.
Any request to change banking details, wire money, or buy gift cards should be verified by phone with a known number — even if it appears to come from your boss or a trusted vendor.
Lock your screen when you step away, encrypt laptops and phones, and avoid handling sensitive data on public Wi-Fi without a VPN.
Clicked a bad link? Sent credentials to the wrong site? Speed matters more than blame. Report it right away — early reporting is the difference between a contained incident and a company-wide breach.
