  1. Protect against viruses, spyware, and other malicious code.<\/b> Make sure all computers are equipped with antivirus software and anti-spyware and updated regularly.<\/li>\n
  2. Secure your networks:<\/b> Safeguard your Internet connection by using a firewall and encrypting information. Make sure your Wi-Fi network is secure and hidden.<\/li>\n
  3. Establish security practices and policies to protect sensitive information:<\/b> Establish policies on how employees should handle and protect personally identifiable information and other sensitive data.<\/li>\n
  4. Educate employees about cyberthreats and hold them accountable:<\/b> Deter employees from introducing competitors to sensitive details about your firm’s internal business by informing them about how to post online in a way that does not reveal any trade secrets to the public or competing businesses.<\/li>\n
  5. Require employees to use strong passwords and to change them often:<\/b> Consider implementing multifactor authentication that requires additional information beyond a password to gain entry.<\/li>\n
  6. Employ best practices on payment cards:<\/b> Work with your banks or card processors to ensure the most trusted and validated tools and anti-fraud services are being used. Do not use the same computer to process payments and surf the Internet.<\/li>\n
  7. Make backup copies of important business data and information:<\/b> Regularly backup critical data on all computers and store in the cloud or offsite.<\/li>\n
  8. Control physical access to computers and network components:<\/b> Prevent access or use of business computers by unauthorized individuals. Make sure a separate user account is created for each employee and require strong passwords.<\/li>\n
  9. Create a mobile device action plan:<\/b> Mobile devices can create significant security and management challenges, especially if they hold confidential information or can access the corporate network.<\/li>\n
  10. Protect all pages on your public-facing websites, not just the checkout and sign-up pages.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
