Today, most of our daily activities are automatized\nand the internet became an integral part of our lives, due to its widespread usage\naccompanied by related telecommunications, IoT technologies that create an\ninterconnected world with the possibility to make people\u2019s lives easier,\nenjoyable, and more efficient. Although internet provides a lot of valuable\ninformation and service to the users, a lot of cybercrimes are created with unrestricted\ninternet usage.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what exactly these cybercrimes are? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, Cybercrime or Computer crime refers to a criminal \/ illegal activity that is carried out using a computer, internet, and electronic devices such as a mobile phone or tablet. It primarily takes place online and uses malicious code to access and steal users&#8217; personal information, confidential business information, government data, or even disable a device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common examples of cyber-attacks are password attacks, malware, phishing, ransomware, IoT-based attacks, data breaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an increasing number of threats every year, strong security solutions are needed to prevent your company from cyber threats. You have likely heard the adage called \u201cPrevention is better than cure\u201d, so it is always the best idea to take preventive action at first, before exploiting the entire system. In this blog, we suggest you the best ways to protect your company from cybercrime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">1.Passwords<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A weak password allows perpetrators to quickly hack your system, and once the hacker figures out your password, they will have a complete access to your system. So, it is always preferred to create a secure, complex and unique password. While creating a password, one should remember the below points to ensure a high level of protection against external and internal threats<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Avoid using the same passwords for multiple accounts,\nsites, and applications<\/li><li>Do not choose your name or date of birth for a\npassword<\/li><li>Complicate your password using a combination of alphabets,\nnumbers, special characters <\/li><li> Change passwords more frequently, say once in 6 months <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">2.Setup a Firewall<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cyber1.png\" alt=\"Setup a Firewall\" title=\"Setup a Firewall\" class=\"wp-image-9332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cyber1.png 697w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cyber1-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the simple and easiest ways to strengthen and safeguard your company\u2019s system from malicious threats is to install a Firewall. A firewall typically acts as a barrier between the outside world and your system by inspecting the incoming and outgoing traffic. There are two ways to implement a firewall i.e., one is by installing a Software on every computer being used in your organization and the other is by installing a hardware on each main internet connection, or each or several servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Few Pros of using Firewall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Monitors network traffic<\/li><li>Safeguard and Stop from Virus Attacks<\/li><li> Prevent hackers and ensures Privacy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">3.Install Antivirus<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A smart way to defend your company\u2019s computer and data from attacks is to use anti-virus or other security solutions. Once installed, these antivirus softwares &nbsp;protects your system against viruses, spyware, malware, phishing attacks, rootkits, Trojans, spam attacks and other online cyber threats. With the help of this software, you can scan, detect and remove threats before they progress as an issue. Also, it is feasible to block ads and spam websites, thereby saving all the critical information available on your device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">4.Maintain both your system and software updated<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old and outdated\nsoftware is highly vulnerable to cybercrimes. To safeguard your organization from\nthese threats, it is important to download software patches and update them\nfrequently. In most scenarios, software gets updated automatically by default,\nit is also essential to check for updates and run those updates on a regular\nbasis. Below are a few ways to identify the software updates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To update your windows machine, go to Settings \u00e0 Update and security -&gt; Check for updates<\/li><li> To update macOS machine, open <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.appgodz.evh&amp;hl=en_IN&amp;gl=US\" title=\"CRM APP\">App Store<\/a><\/strong> \u00e0 Updates <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">5.Educate your employees against cybercrimes<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With millions of people\nworking remotely, the organization must provide regular and updated awareness training\nto their employees to protect their business from cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary objective\nof this training is to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Identify threats, latest phishing attacks, and team\nmembers should know how to respond to these threats<\/li><li>Double check before opening emails from unknown\naddresses and with suspicious attachments or links <\/li><li>Avoid opening attachments in spam emails<\/li><li>Avoid installing unauthorized software on company machine\nwithout getting prior approval from your system administrator<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nAlso, it is advisable to hire a cybersecurity\nspecialist to manage and monitor unwanted intrusions.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">6.Encrypt data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cyber2.png\" alt=\"Encrypt data\" title=\"Encrypt data\" class=\"wp-image-9333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cyber2.png 697w, https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/cyber2-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Data encryption is the process of hiding information from perpetrators, where information is encoded in a way that only authorized users can read it, thereby ensuring data confidentiality and avoiding damage to your business\u2019s brand and reputation even if criminals hack your company\u2019s system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you can use device encryption to protect your data from malicious users.

So, every organisation needs to protect their critical data with a periodic backup. Typically, data backup is the process of copying or archiving files and folders to be able to restore\/recover them, in case of data loss. These backups are performed manually as well as automatically. A lot of softwares are available, to backup your company data at a predefined time of the day or week.  It is advisable to backup important data at least once a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be done by saving important files to external hard drives, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helloleads.io\/blog\/all\/business-benefits\/cloud-crm\/\" title=\"Cloud CRM\"><strong>cloud<\/strong><\/a> storage, or other external locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">8.Use multifactor authentication<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security technology that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a system which adds an extra layer of protection. A few examples of MFA are password \/ PIN, OTP or code sent to the mobile device\/security badge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong>9.Choose a VPN<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VPN abbreviated as Virtual Private Network that helps to keep your information private from hackers, internet service providers, and other 3<sup>rd<\/sup> parties. When VPN is enabled, an encrypted tunnel has created that masks your location, IP address, and online activity and is made invisible to hackers so they cannot steal your passwords, financial information, messages, or browsing activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">10.Assessments and penetration test<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of assessment\nand penetration testing is to detect vulnerabilities in the network\ninfrastructure and take necessary action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assessment testing is subdivided into vulnerability and risk assessments where the vulnerability assessment&nbsp;helps to identify, assess, and prioritize vulnerabilities, and risk assessment is used to evaluate potential risks for specific tasks or events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penetration or Pen testing\nis a proactive, essentially controlled form of hacking in which a professional\ntester, uses the techniques same as that of a hacker, to identify threats in\nthe company\u2019s networks or applications.\n\nThese tests are helpful to identify the\nrobustness and weakness of the network cybersecurity and need to be carried out\nat regular intervals i.e., at least once or twice a year to ensure your system\nis protected from cyber threats.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong style=\"font-size:19px\">11.Non-administrator accounts<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generating non-administrator account and using them for day-to-day activities, will lessen the risk of network compromise because hackers primarily target Administrator level accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hackers are spread across the world and whenever you hear and read about cybercrimes, you might be tempted to stop using the internet entirely. But that\u2019s practically impossible.
