Transform Masters 2017 is brought to you with thanks to our sponsors Property Tree, realestate.com.au and Real+

This week, nationally, it is Stay Smart Online Week (9-13 October 2017). Protecting yourself and your business has never been more important so we asked REA Group’s head security coach Craig Templeton to join us for a series of videos about how you can protect your personal and business assets from cyber-criminals.

Five key ways that real estate agents can protect themselves and their business are:

  • Create good passphrases for all online accounts and enable two-step verification (when available) for additional protection.
  • Train  staff to understand the importance of privacy and teach them how to spot suspicious emails.
  • Make sure your website has a padlock symbol in your browser address bar and ‘https’ at the start of the website address.
  • Keep your software up to date and back up your data to a separate location.
  • Protect mobile devices with PINs and avoid conducting sensitive activities on public Wi-Fi hotspots.

Today’s video is about better protecting your data and information through better pass-phrases and keeping passwords safe.
