Tips from the Experts

1. Develop an information technology (IT) use policy.

Employees must understand what is and is not acceptable on work computers.

 

2. Have a security solution that allows you to set protocols for your employees.

This will allow only certain individuals to access mission-critical servers.

 

3. Train your employees to be suspicious of all email attachments.

Viruses commonly come in through email attachments - opening an infected attachment launches the virus.

 

4. Not all secure sockets layer (SSL) certificates are the same.

Make sure your SSL certificates are up to date and from a reputable organization.

 

5. Make sure your network is not vulnerable to attack.

Running periodic scans of your network will ensure that both you and your customers are safe from fraud.
