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.
