This is an “oldie but goodie.” With new digital threats like phishing on the rise, it’s easy to forget about the classics like USBs. A good general rule of thumb - don’t plug anything into your computer that you aren’t 100% sure is virus free. https://lnkd.in/eswEtA5e #businessadvice #businesstip #ceotips #businessowners #technology #BASESolutionsLLC #Virginia #Maryland #DC

There are 4 big types of spyware. 📌Adware - software applications that display advertisements while the program is running (those annoying pop-ups!) 📌Keyboard loggers - a type of surveillance technology used to monitor and record your keystrokes! Hackers use this to steal sensitive information like passwords and bank account numbers. 📌Trojans - software applications that appear harmless but can inflict damage or data loss to your system. 📌Mobile Spyware - spyware that infects mobile devices usually through SMS or MMS. And the worst part is that most people DON’T know. It’s good to have a professional check your computer, especially if you enter any time of sensitive information on it.

Unfortunately, data breaches can occur from the inside, either by disgruntled employees or completely by accident. It’s important to train ALL members of your team on proper cybersecurity measures but also to only provide the level of access needed for each individual to do their job. This will help limit employees opportunities to release sensitive information. #cybersecurityawarenessmonth #cybernews #cybersecuritytip #businesstip #BaseSolutionsLLC #Virginia #Maryland #DC

Basic firewalls and anti-virus software are not enough to keep even small businesses truly secure. For example - these softwares develop holes and need to be patched to avoid hackers using them as an entry point to your network. If you don’t have someone monitoring your account, you could miss out on important updates OR someone getting into your network. Not sure if you’re protected?
