What suspicious COVID-19 activit<\/span>ies<\/span>\u00a0should I watch out for?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"COVID-19<\/p>\n

Many COVID-19 scams proliferating the internet nowadays in<\/span>volve entities pretending<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to be bodies of authority<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One example is emails and texts coming from supposed government agencies\u00a0<\/span>providing information about COVID-19 tests, financial aid, and others<\/span>. These emails and texts contain\u00a0<\/span>malicious\u00a0<\/span>links and attachments\u00a0<\/span>created to extract\u00a0<\/span>the recipient\u2019s personal information.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other scammers pose as banks, telco providers, or insurance companies<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Their usual play is to\u00a0<\/span>lure people to surrender their personal information<\/span>, request for remote access to their devices, or ask for payment for something you never purchased<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also cybercriminals who\u00a0<\/span>mask\u00a0<\/span>themselves as your supplier, partner, or even your HR. These scammers usually divert you<\/span>r usual payments into a different account, so\u00a0<\/span>your money goes to them instead<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other scams in<\/span>volve\u00a0<\/span>websites posing as legitimate\u00a0<\/span>sources\u00a0<\/span>while carrying malware within their codes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How can I protect my business?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Be one step ahead. Follow these simple yet effective steps to strengthen your\u00a0<\/span>cybersecurity amid the COVID-19 crisis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0<\/span>Double check the emails you receive<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Make sure your emails are coming from the right domain. For example, emails from\u00a0<\/span>the Australian Taxation Office should come from a<\/span>n addres<\/span>s\u00a0<\/span>ending in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>@<\/span><\/b>ato<\/span><\/b>.gov.au\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u2014\u00a0<\/span><\/b>not @<\/span>ato<\/span>.com.au or @ato.org.au.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beware\u00a0<\/span>of emails asking for your personal information, such as\u00a0<\/span>your password<\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>bank account details<\/span>. Companies will never ask for these\u00a0<\/span>details\u00a0<\/span>from you<\/span>. S<\/span>o<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>never respond to such type<\/span>\u00a0of email.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also,\u00a0<\/span>be careful with<\/span>\u00a0email attachments. Never download items coming from<\/span>\u00a0unfamiliar<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>sources<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And\u00a0<\/span>filter all incoming emails using\u00a0<\/span>email protection software<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>to prevent spam\u00a0<\/span>and dangerous emails\u00a0<\/span>from entering your\u00a0<\/span>mailbox<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2)\u00a0<\/span>Enforce\u00a0<\/span>strict password policies<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t take your passwords for granted.\u00a0<\/span>Implement\u00a0<\/span>policies for\u00a0<\/span>your employees when they\u00a0<\/span>setup passwords<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>These include minimum password lengths, character combinations required,\u00a0<\/span>words<\/span>\u00a0prohibited<\/span>, and the like.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For<\/span>\u00a0an added layer of protection, use tools such as single sign-on (SSO) and two-factor authentication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This m<\/span>ake<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0it harder for hackers to breach your network.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3)\u00a0<\/span>Install<\/span>\u00a0VPN<\/span>\u00a0and firewall<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Remote work has developed\u00a0<\/span>as<\/span>\u00a0the new norm for\u00a0<\/span>most\u00a0<\/span>businesses.\u00a0<\/span>With that, it\u2019s more crucial to place stringent security measures to protect your network.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One\u00a0<\/span>important measure is installing<\/span>\u00a0a virtual private network (VPN) in all your mobile and laptop devices. Compel your employees to use VPN whenever they work<\/span>\u00a0to protect your business information.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another thing you should do is install<\/span>\u00a0a firewall in your devices<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>your\u00a0<\/span>website.\u00a0<\/span>This quickly detects malicious traffic and stops it before it enters your network.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also,\u00a0<\/span>d<\/span>iscourage<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>your employees\u00a0<\/span>from using public wi-fi connection.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>susceptible to\u00a0<\/span>weak security links and could put your data at risk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4)\u00a0<\/span>Install SSL into your website<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

With the lack of person-to-person interaction,\u00a0<\/span>businesses\u00a0<\/span>now rely more onto online platforms to\u00a0<\/span>transact with their customers<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure to protect your\u00a0<\/span>own customer connections by\u00a0<\/span>getting an SSL certificate<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SSL\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 or secure socket layer \u2014\u00a0<\/span>encrypts any sensitive information that goes through your website, such as<\/span>\u00a0login details<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>credit card numbers<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0This prevents hackers from accessing these pieces\u00a0<\/span>of\u00a0<\/span>information and using them for malicious purposes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5)\u00a0<\/span>Update your software\u00a0<\/span>regularly<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Make sure to install software up<\/span>dates as soon as they get released. These updates usually have patches to security vulnerabilities,\u00a0<\/span>so getting them regularly will keep your devices secure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, create a policy to manage every software application you\u2019re using in your network, then assign someone in your team to maintain them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6)\u00a0<\/span>Backup your\u00a0<\/span>data<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sometimes,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>worse comes to worst and your data gets corrupted because of a cyberattack<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>To prepare for this,\u00a0<\/span>have a backup copy of your website<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 in<\/span>cluding all its contents.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This will keep your business up and running in no time during worst-case scen<\/span>arios.<\/span>\u00a0You want to prevent any case of downtime\u00a0<\/span>that leads to\u00a0<\/span>los<\/span>s of<\/span>\u00a0credibility and profit<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It pays to be\u00a0<\/span>secure<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prevention is better than cure. Implementing these security measures now will benefit your business in the long run.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t take your website security<\/a> for granted\u00a0<\/span>\u2014 especially in this time of uncertainty.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
