Are Your Computers Vulnerable?
Are Your Computers Secure?
Anywhere in business today, security awareness includes the digital side of operations. If your devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets) are kept up to date with the latest software, you are doing good. Hackers will first look for targets of opportunity, those devices that are easiest to break into. Many times, digital ‘break ins’ happen because software was not updated and kept current. Keep in mind that you need to regularly update software and apps such as:
- iOS or Android smart phone software
- Apps on your devices (computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc…)
- Operating system on your computer
- Email and Internet browser software
- Any security software such as antivirus, firewall, antimalware, antispyware
- Any Adobe software (Flash has had ongoing security issues for a long time)
Protecting yourself and your business data requires a bigger picture approach. Hackers will target devices and accounts (online) that are easiest to break into. Don’t make it easy for them to break into your system. Keep the bar high enough so they move on to another easier target. Read more “Are Your Computers Vulnerable?”
