• Connect with a known network. While those free Wi-Fi signs may be tempting, it’s never a good idea to connect your business information to a free Wi-Fi hotspot. The only time you should ever do this is if it’s in another building that you trust and you know and the free Wi-Fi connection is secure. Most people are oblivious to the dangers of a free Wi-Fi network and public connections are often insecure. That means a hacker can get involved in your system just because you did not click secure.
• Browse with caution. Nobody likes Internet pop-ups any more than they like TV adverts. When you’re browsing the Internet, don’t bypass security systems and only use websites with a strong SSL certificate ocean. You need to ensure that websites have a padlock system on the browser because this tells you that the website is encrypted and highly secure. Always trust only the SSL certified websites because these are the ones that can keep you safe. 
• Stay away from anything suspicious. Cyber security threats are becoming more and more realistic as cyber criminals become more sophisticated. When you browse online or you’re checking your email, don’t click links you don’t know, always check with banking and financial institutions if you receive emails from them, and always look out for regular and on trend phishing scams. Doing all of this will ensure that you are not caught out.
• Secure all of your passwords. There is a reason that some websites ask you to alphabetize and add special characters in your passwords. Doing this makes them harder to get into which also means that nobody can breach them. If you secure your passwords properly and you add a layer of extra security with multi factor authentication, you will be able to ensure that your information is safe at all times. Your online security matters if you want to keep hold of your money and stop yourself from being scammed. Whether you are an individual or you are working as a business, online security is important either way. Educating yourself on how to do it better is the key!
