Your Password Can Be the Weakest Part of Your Cybersecurity

A business can have expensive computers and sophisticated software but still be compromised because an account has a weak, reused or stolen password — passwords remain a critical part of account security.

Small businesses often focus on antivirus software while overlooking basic account protection. A compromised email account can potentially expose documents, customer information, financial information and other connected systems.
