SMB Cybersecurity Tip: Multifactor authentication (MFA) made simple

Think of multifactor authentication (MFA) as a double-lock system for your digital life. Just like you wouldn’t secure your house with only a simple lock, you shouldn’t protect your business accounts with just a password.

Modern MFA is easier than ever:

Touch your phone’s fingerprint sensor.
Look at your phone for face recognition.
Tap “Accept” on your phone when logging in.
Use an authenticator app to generate codes.

No more waiting for text messages or typing in complicated codes (unless you want to)!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Cybercriminals have gotten clever about tricking people into accepting MFA prompts. Our golden rule: If you didn’t just try to log in and you get an MFA prompt, DENY IT and change your password immediately!

Pro Tip: Use an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) instead of text messages for your verification codes. It’s more secure and works even without cell service!

SMB Technologies Cybersecurity Tip: You clicked a link by mistake. Now what?

No matter how diligent you are about security, there’s always a chance you can get fooled into clicking a malicious link or opening an untrusted document. That’s why you need to put a plan in place NOW to protect yourself and your CLIENTS, so damage is minimized.

But what should you do when you click THAT link by mistake?

Don’t assume you’re fine because nothing happened. Hackers have intentionally designed their attacks so that you don’t know anything has changed. You might not think anything was accessed or downloaded, but that may not be the case.

Hackers often hide for months in a network, not making any “moves.” Why? They want to find out as much as they can about their victim, like how much money you have to pay a ransom or what type of data you have that they might want to sell.

What do you do? Contact your IT department (us) IMMEDIATELY. The faster we can address the threat, the better your chances are of preventing much bigger problems. We’ll go to work on conducting a full scan of your network and/or taking the appropriate actions to protect you.

At a roulette table, your odds of winning are 37:1. The only place those odds are a breath of fresh air is compared to the odds of untested backups protecting your business.

Set-it-and-forget-it strategies, old procedures and exposed backup locations are inviting disaster.

These strategies failing isn’t bad luck; it’s carelessness that can be exploited.

It’s a roulette wheel that can never be won because the house is incentivized to take advantage of poor planning.
