Many businesses make the mistake of thinking that once they have cyber insurance, they’re fully protected. However, the reality is that cyber insurance has its limitations. It might cover some financial losses but won’t repair your reputation, recover lost customers or undo the damage caused by a breach. That’s why investing in robust security measures is crucial to minimizing the likelihood of an attack and mitigating its impact. Don’t rely solely on insurance to protect your business. Implement strong security measures to reduce the risk of a breach in the first place. Comment “cyber insurance” to learn more about balancing insurance with proactive security strategies.

Whether it’s the belief that small businesses aren’t targets, that antivirus software alone is sufficient or that compliance equals security, these myths can cause complacency and severe security breaches. Ensure your business’s security measures are based on facts, not fiction. Stay informed and uncover the truth about cyber myths —­­­ even if it hurts. Lean On Me I.T.

Imagine this: You’re at a party, and you see a delicious cake. It’s your favorite flavor. But when you look away, it’s gone. The same can happen with your data — it’s valuable and cybercriminals want a piece. However, unlike cake, lost data can permanently damage your business. Data breaches can lead to financial losses, damaged reputation and legal consequences. That’s why it’s crucial to protect your data with robust security measures, including encryption, access controls and regular backups. Never let your data become an easy target. Protect it as much as you would protect your most valuable possessions. Lean On Me I.T. [email protected] #DataSecurity #Cybersecurity

Remember when your mom told you not to talk to strangers? That advice is just as relevant in the digital world. Cybercriminals are strangers online, lurking in emails, messages and pop-ups, waiting for you to let your guard down. The best defense against these malicious actors? Don’t click links or open attachments from unknown or suspicious sources. Be cautious even with emails that appear legitimate. When in doubt, verify the sender through a different communication channel before taking action. Cybersecurity starts with common sense and a healthy dose of skepticism. Trust your gut, not their emails! Lean On Me I.T. [email protected] #Cybersecurity #OnlineSafety
