Top Tips to Reduce Cyber Risk
In 2025, 1 in 5 UK Adults Were Victims of Cyber Crime – Cyber Criminals don’t discriminate.
Here are some Top Tips to help reduce the chances of you or your business being the next victim:
- Use strong, unique passwords — and consider a password manager to store them securely.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all sensitive accounts (email, banking, cloud storage).
- Beware of phishing and scam messages — never click suspicious links or share personal/financial details in response to unexpected emails, texts or calls.
- Keep software and devices up to date — including operating systems, antivirus, browsers, and apps.
- Back up important data regularly — store backups offline or in secure cloud storage.
- Monitor bank and credit accounts frequently for any unusual activity.
- Educate employees or household members — make sure everyone understands common cyber threats and knows what to do if something seems suspicious.
- Limit sharing of personal information online — be cautious about oversharing on social media, and use privacy settings.
