6 Essential Cyber Security Tips to Stay Safe Online

As a business enabler, cybersecurity should not be an afterthought. Especially since cyber-attacks are no longer a matter of if, but when – even for SMEs. Strengthen your organisation’s cyber defence now by adopting these 6 Essentials from the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore.

#1: Know your Assets

Identify and understand the cyber components of your organisation, so as to prevent and detect unauthorised access to those assets.

#2: Allow only Authorised Software to Work

Implement application control integrated with antivirus, so as to allow only authorised software to work.

#3: Timely Patching and Updating

Patch and update your operating systems, firmware and applications in a timely manner to reduce system known vulnerabilities thereby minimising exploitative attacks.

#4: Giving the right Admin ‘Passes’

Restrict administrator privileges so as not to give attackers privileged rights to compromise systems.

#5: Detect Breaches promptly

Data breaches as soon as possible by setting up continuous monitoring with enabled audit trails/security logging.

#6: Access Control

Ensure authorised access only, by implementing multifactor authentication.
