Everywhere you go, risk follows
When it comes to thwarting cyber-crime, knowledge is power. Be vigilant of the many vulnerabilities that surround you and the ways in which hackers exploit them.
Unsuspecting employees
It just takes one worker to click on a disguised phishing link and cause havoc.
Outdated software
Lucky for hackers you didn’t install the latest security patches.
Poor social media practices
Employees using social media platforms on company networks open businesses to the risk of hacks, viruses and privacy breaches.
Unencrypted wireless keyboards
From up to 250 feet away, scammers can detect your keystrokes to snag passwords, credit card numbers and private text.
Unshielded credit cards
Your credit card emits a signal. Using a signal reader, hackers can capture that data at a distance unless you shield it.
Vulnerable home routers
Outdated and unpatched household routers have become a popular target for threat actors.
Phishing and Smishing
An email or text that baits an employee into installing malware.
Malware
Pernicious software that enables hackers to remotely steal sensitive data and infect networks.
Ransomware
The use of malware to lock systems and data, extorting money for their release.
Business email compromise
Hacking into a business’s email to gain access to payment information.
Trusted insider threats
Disgruntled employees and/or contractors (past and present) intent on harming the organization.
Cyber attacks can be catastrophic
The repercussions of a security breach can be far more prohibitive than expected. However, it need not be ruinous if you have the right cyber insurance.

All businesses that store sensitive data online or on computers. Think credit card numbers, social security data, health records and customer data.
