Recent statistics from Duke University show that more than 80% of all American companies have experienced successful hacking attempts, with smaller businesses being particularly at risk for damage and financial losses. Recognizing that many people may not have the technical background to understand specific vulnerabilities in their systems, the new guide from Cybersecurity Caucus sets out some of the risks of a brokerage account hacking attack and ways these cybercrime threats can be identified.
“Waking up to find that your hard-earned money has been stolen by hackers is every entrepreneur’s worst nightmare,” says a representative. “But by following simple steps like using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and staying updated on software, you can protect yourself from cybercriminals and ensure your financial security.”
Readers will learn about various types of hacking threats, including phishing email scams - which are becoming increasingly sophisticated - as well as social engineering techniques, in which hackers use human psychology to get access to personal information and data.
The guide covers best practices for vigilance, such as never clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown senders, always verifying a sender’s identity, checking closely for red flags like unusual domain names, and taking additional care when receiving what appears to be an “urgent” request.
Business owners will also find instructions for bolstering their system’s security protocols, including setting strong passwords with multi-factor authentication and making sure that software and hardware are regularly updated.
Additionally, the Cybersecurity Caucus team gives information about how to manage a firewall and choose an effective, reputable antivirus software, as well as advice on how to configure these tools for better security and set up customizable alerts for suspicious activity on a brokerage account.
