Without cyber security measures this data may be at risk, and a successful cyber attack (such as a data breach) can cause significant reputational damage.

Due to this, implementing defences should be a priority with the ability to reduce your risks, prevent an attack from occurring, and protect your reputation.

• Use secure passwords
  Weak passwords can put your systems and data at risk, so creating strong, secure passwords is essential. Strong passwords should include:
  - 12-14 characters
  - Uppercase and lowercase letters
  - Special characters
  You should also avoid repeating the same password for multiple accounts, and enable multi-factor authentication where possible.
  
• Use caution when opening email attachments
  Cyber criminals commonly pose as trusted organisations and send phishing emails, which can trick recipients into clicking on malicious links, downloading malware, or sharing personal information. If you’ve received an email from an unknown sender, don’t click on links or attachments – instead get in touch with the organisation directly to confirm whether this communication is legitimate.‍
  
• Don’t use unsecured public Wi-Fi networks
  Using public Wi-Fi hotspots can put your personal details and information at risk, as they’re often targeted by cyber criminals.‍
