Protect
you and your business from hackers. My first advice is to have a
designated computer(s) to be used strictly for business information,
files, and any data related to your dealing with customers,
government entities, etc. Have separate computer (s) for Internet
use. This is vital because of smarter and smarter hackers out there.
Password Manager Programs are available to be used as tools eliminate
having to memorize or constantly typing passwords. There is a whole
host to choose from, one is LastPass,
as an example.
Remember,
whether or not you have such a tool, its password, or any other
passwords must be known by you, or someone you designate, in addition
to the necessary users. This protects your business from being
crippled should a single employee suddenly leave without leaving the
valuable password(s).
The
first thing to do with a password manager is to create a lengthy
password made up of some caps, some lower case letters and numbers
to gain entrance to the manager. The manager will then generate new,
safer passwords for all your accounts – its easy. The manager
stores all your passwords for you to enter with one click to input
the password for you each time.
In
Facebook, say you find out there was a breach, go to your password
manager to create a new password for Facebook with a few clicks.
Using
tools like password managers, making a habit of creating hard to
crack passwords is a good start.
