Keeping Your Business Secure (Without Going Crazy)

Security feels overwhelming. New threats every week, password requirements getting ridiculous, updates interrupting your work. It's tempting to just ignore it all. But a few simple habits can keep you protected without turning security into a full-time job.

The Basics That Actually Matter

Keep things updated. Most successful attacks exploit known vulnerabilities that have already been patched. Enable automatic updates for your operating system and apps. Yes, the occasional restart is annoying. Getting hacked is worse.

Use a password manager. 1Password, Bitwarden, or even the one built into your browser. It generates strong unique passwords, remembers them for you, and fills them in automatically. Stop reusing passwords - if one site gets breached, attackers try those credentials everywhere.

Turn on two-factor authentication. Especially for email, banking, and anything business-critical. Even if someone gets your password, they can't log in without that second factor.

For Teams

Shared password vaults keep team credentials organized and secure
Single sign-on reduces password fatigue and improves security
Regular access reviews - remove people who've left
Basic security awareness - teach people to spot phishing

The Bigger Picture

Security connects to everything else. Good device management means you can wipe a lost laptop. Proper data backup means ransomware isn't catastrophic. Centralized identity means one place to disable a departing employee's access.
