5 Cybersecurity Measures You Must Follow

Whatever your business, cybersecurity should be among your top priorities. The following are our top five cybersecurity measures we advise all businesses to implement now:

1. A strong password policy with MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) at least for Office 365.
2. Mandatory annual security awareness training for all employees. To learn more, view a useful 15-minute presentation by our CEO, Tony Lesirge.
3. Secure your Office 365 tenant using the Microsoft 365 Secure Score Analyzer.
4. Implement a business class firewall and check your firewall settings regularly.
5. Encrypt all laptops (BitLocker is generally the easiest to use) and mobile devices (by Exchange admin policy).

There is a lot more to maintaining a strong cybersecurity program than the five measures listed above, especially if you are in a high-compliance line of work such as healthcare or government contracting.  But it’s an excellent place for small and medium organizations to start.
