■ Security Tip of the Week
Stay Ahead of Emerging Threats
Five questions every SA business owner should be able to answer right now:
Have you conducted a recent security audit of your third-party software providers?
Is your team trained to recognize and report phishing attempts?
Do you have a response plan in place for data breaches?
Are your systems regularly updated to patch known vulnerabilities?
Have you reviewed your data backup and recovery procedures this month?
■ Practical Protections
01 Patch Within 72 Hours Internet-facing systems following a critical advisory. Two weeks is the benchmark for internal systems. | 02 Require MFA Everywhere Remote access, email, all admin accounts. A stolen password alone should not be enough to get in. |
03 Know What You Have Maintain a current inventory of all systems, especially those accessible from outside your network. | 04 Limit Vendor Access Only what they need, for as long as they need it. Review and revoke on a regular schedule. |
■ Final Thought
Leadership in Cybersecurity
Keeping your business secure is not just about having the right technology; it's about leadership and proactive decision-making. As cyber threats evolve, so must our strategies and commitments. Let's make cybersecurity a priority at every level of our organizations.
