How to Protect Your Small Business From Cyber Attacks Right Now

Unprecedented numbers of professionals are working from home, and small- and medium-sized businesses without clear data security policies in place are particularly at-risk right now. “Employees are dispersed and on different devices, and you don’t know what they’re doing. This opens up vulnerabilities like never before,” says TJ Fox, SVP and president of Verizon Business Markets.

Avoid public WiFi
Develop policies for suspicious emails
Have clear guidelines about downloading apps
Get on the cloud
