Cybersecurity Best Practices for Businesses
- Keep up-to-date with OS and software patches
Updates keep you safe from the known security holes that malicious hackers use to gain access to your systems and data. - Regularly backup your data

Limiting access to only what your users need to perform their duties is not only a good policy but it might help save the exposure of your most sensitive data in the event of a breach. - Keep detailed logs from systems and applications
Keep a complete record of what happens in your systems. This is both useful for security and troubleshooting purposes. - Educate and train your employees:
Human error contributes to approximately 95% of successful cybersecurity breaches. Keep your users educated on acceptable use, Social Engineering, and what to watch out for to identify the latest cyber attacks.
