An Ode to 'Cybersecurity Awareness Month'
October is the month to become aware of the digital risks that threaten us every day. The damage that cyberattacks can cause is enormous… [Theatrical music plays, and the reader closes the tab due to the dramatic writing style].
On a serious note, in 2023, businesses worldwide faced losses of no less than 7.5 trillion euros. Phishing remains one of the biggest threats, where hackers deceive you into revealing sensitive information. It is therefore essential that businesses arm themselves against these dangers with robust security measures.
Strong passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are the foundation of good digital security. But more than that is needed. Businesses must also ensure secure networks, especially when employees work remotely. Cloud telephony and cloud-managed VPN are perfect solutions for this. With our secure cloud telephony, you can call without worry, whilst the cloud-managed VPN secures your connection, even when you're using public networks such as those in cafés or at airports.
A cloud-managed VPN ensures that all your data is encrypted and provides an extra layer of protection through a powerful firewall. This makes your organisation less vulnerable to hackers attempting to access your systems via weak networks. This way, your employees can work anywhere without worrying about the security of their communications.
Cybersecurity doesn't only depend on technology, but also on the people who work with it. In our earlier article (June 2024) about the importance of a password manager, we also emphasised how important it is to use strong, unique passwords for all your accounts and to manage them securely. A password manager is indispensable here and helps employees manage their login credentials without worry.
