Here's what you need to do to protect your business from cyberattacks.

• Develop cybersecurity practices for your business, including

both technical and behavioral protections.

• Guard your systems with firewalls, antivirus software and

automatic updates of operating systems and software.

• Regularly test the security of your systems. Cybercriminals

never rest, and neither can you.

• Make your employees your first line of defense. Educate

employees on the importance of following your cybersecuri-ty policies, such as changing passwords frequently, not opening suspicious emails and not downloading software or connecting to unauthorized cloud services on company computers. Enforce consequences for not following the policies.

• Identify common methods that cybercriminals use. Emails

that appear to be from someone within the company or spam emails with unusual attachments or hyperlinks are things to watch out for.

• Always back up your data in case of an emergency, and

choose a backup system that lets you restore your lost data quickly.

into the bank of knowledge you use every day at

home, in life and at the workplace. Each of your cog-

nitive skills plays an important part in processing new

information. That means if even one of these skills is

weak, no matter what kind of information is coming your way, grasping, retaining, or

using that information is impacted. Make sure you attend our July meeting when
