October is national Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which is a great reminder to check ensuring you and your business are doing everything you can to protect your organization.
We challenge you to take a look at your cybersecurity practices and evaluate if there are any holes. Here are 8 practical security steps you should and need to be taking:
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication
