Everything you need to know to keep your systems safe

Cyber crime online is on the rise, which is why it is key that your business systems stay protected. At Core Network Group we offer robust network solutions and outstanding customer support to ensure you stay safe online. Read our guide covering the top ways you can keep your business safe online.

Make regular backups

Regularly backup data on your computer. In the case of any incidents where you lose storage on your IT network, a data backup means you will easily be able to retrieve it and pick up where you left off.

We recommend using cloud storage backups as these are done automatically.

Install Antivirus software

We recommend that you always use antivirus software and have an IT support team who monitor your systems.

This will keep your hardware, software and network safe, reducing the risk of any cyber threats.

Use strong passwords and change regularly

Make sure to use a strong password which is uneasy to guess and change on a regular basis. This will greatly reduce the risk of anyone accessing login to your accounts.

Instead of using the same password across different platforms use different passwords for different websites to ensure that all your data is secure on each platform. Use a password vault to store your passwords.

Don’t click on unsafe links

Spam emails are an extremely common form of online threats and can contain malicious links which can damage your computer/network when clicked.

Make sure to only respond and interact with emails you are familiar with and be cautious for any fake users emailing you.

Use a VPN

VPN’s are a virtual private network which give you an extra level of security when connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Keep your business connected to a reliable, trustworthy VPN to increase security across your systems.

Use a firewall

Installing a firewall on your IT systems will reduce the chance of any threats breaking into your network.

Firewalls are universal and can be installed across all your business devices.

Encrypt your data

Make sure that all your accessible data is encrypted.

This will reduce any threats from getting through to your personal data.
