Cybersecurity Basics Every Australian Small Business Should Have in Place
Cybersecurity Basics Every Australian Small Business Should Have in Place
Cyber threats aren't just a big-business problem. Small and medium Australian businesses are increasingly targeted because attackers know their defences are often weaker. Here's where to start.
1. A Properly Configured Firewall
A managed firewall is your first line of defence, filtering out unauthorised traffic before it ever reaches your network.
2. Endpoint Protection on Every Device
Every laptop, desktop and mobile device connected to your network is a potential entry point. Endpoint protection keeps each of them monitored and defended.
3. Regular Risk Assessments
You can't fix what you can't see. A proper risk assessment, such as a Barracuda-powered review, shows exactly where your business is exposed before an attacker finds it first.
4. 24/7 Monitoring
Threats don't stick to business hours. Round-the-clock network monitoring means suspicious activity gets flagged and responded to immediately, not the next business day.
5. A Plan for Your Communications Infrastructure Too
Your phone system and network are connected. Securing your data without securing your voice and communications infrastructure leaves a gap attackers can exploit.
