October may be halfway over, but we’re still celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month! This is the perfect time to strengthen your knowledge and adopt smarter online practices.

This year, we’re focusing on key recommendations from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Their guide, “Cybersecurity for Small Business,” highlights 12 essential areas that every organization—big or small—should prioritize.

What Will We Cover?

Let’s take a sneak peek at the topics we’ll be diving into over the next few weeks:

• Cybersecurity basics
• Physical security
• Ransomware
• Phishing
• Business email imposters
• Tech support scams
• Email authentication
• Vendor security
• Hiring a web host
• Secure remote access
• The NIST cybersecurity framework
• Cyber insurance

How will it work?

With 12 important topics to explore, we’ll release one article per day starting Wednesday, October 16, 2024.

We encourage you to share these articles with your leadership, your team, and even your friends and family. Cybersecurity awareness isn’t just a workplace priority—it’s a personal one too!
