Let’s be real: Sometimes your boss doesn’t know squat about cybersecurity, and it’s your job to keep the company safe. So, before they click on that suspicious link again, here are 10 cybersecurity tips you (and your boss) need to know. Bonus: Oxford Systems Academy can teach you all of these and more!
Tip 1: Passwords Are Like Toothbrushes—Change Them Often
Passwords are your first line of defense, but if your boss is still using “password123,” we’ve got problems. Oxford Systems Academy’s courses teach password management and how to enforce strong password policies (because “qwerty” isn’t cutting it).
Tip 2: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Is the New Seatbelt
You wouldn’t drive without a seatbelt, right? Well, don’t log in without MFA. One password isn’t enough these days—layer up! Oxford Systems Academy’s network security course teaches you how to set up and enforce MFA across systems.
Tip 3: Phishing Attacks Are Out There… Like, A Lot
Your boss may think they’re too smart to get phished. Spoiler: They’re not. Phishing emails are getting sneakier, and Oxford Systems Academy can help you learn how to spot, prevent, and train others to avoid these cyber landmines.
Tip 4: Backups Save Businesses (and Lives)
It’s not glamorous, but backups are like a security blanket. When something goes wrong, and it will, you’ll need to restore everything—fast. Learn how to set up robust backup and recovery strategies with Oxford Systems Academy’s data protection course.
