You should take cyber security measures to protect your software system against a possible attack on networks whose infrastructure is connected to information systems. Otherwise, your privacy and security may be at risk.

Cyber attackers can cause great material and moral damage by seizing the data of institutions and companies without permission. Therefore, institutions, SMEs and companies should take certain security measures to protect themselves from cyber attacks. Some of these are as follows:

Using Licensed Software

That's why it's recommended to download the software only from official websites. So you can protect yourself against malware and its devastating consequences.

Being Careful When Using Public Wi-Fi

Of course, it's nice to have unlimited Wi-Fi wherever you go, but you should remember that this has some risks. Since it is quite easy to hack a Wi-Fi network, your files are vulnerable when you use public networks.

In this case, you will need to use a VPN or make sure your device's software is updated to the latest version.

Backing up your data

It is almost impossible to recover data after a ransomware attack. Therefore, you need to keep a backup of all your data on an external hard disk or cloud drive.

Double Checking Connections

It is very easy to get caught by phishing if you are a careless user. For example, those who want to steal your banking information; They may try to trap you by sending you an email with a seemingly trustworthy domain name, a copy of its website, and the link with a relevant message. That's why you need to double-check the domain and relevance of the message before accessing a link.

Using a Reliable and Up-to-Date Antivirus Software
