📅Our third theme is the use of strong passwords and password managers.

Here are some tips on how to create great passwords:

🔣Use a mixture of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters

🤔For ease of remembering, make it a memorable (but not identifiable) phrase

💬More than 8 characters

✋Don't use the same password anywhere else

🔒Password managers are an efficient and secure way for employees to manage a large number of passwords. You only need to remember one password and then securely gain access to all your login details in one place. IT managers and admins can implement them for teams and individuals.

Head to our blog to see the risks you might face if you don’t have strong passwords and password management in place: https://greymatter.com/content-hub/the-risks-of-not-having-strong-passwords/

In the second blog of our Cyber Security Awareness Month series, we look at the importance of using strong passwords and a management tool.

📅Our second focus is multi-factor authentication (MFA).

🔒MFA is a form of authentication that requires a user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource.

🖥️This makes it harder for cyber criminals to steal credentials and therefore the risk of data breach smaller. MFA is often required for compliance with certain data regulations and certifications such as Cyber Essentials.

🤔Don’t have MFA in place? Here are some risks you might face: https://greymatter.com/content-hub/the-risks-of-not-having-multi-factor-authentication/

☎️Get in touch to discuss multi-factor authentication; book a meeting with our security experts, Scott Harrison and James McKenny.

In the first of our Cyber Security Awareness Month blog series, we take a look at multi-factor authentication.

📅2023 marks 20 years of Cyber Security Awareness Month.

🤔In honour of the 20th year, the National Cybersecurity Alliance is asking organisations and individuals to look at how far security education and awareness have come in that time, and where it needs to go to fulfil our vision of a secure interconnected world.

Here are this year’s themes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw89LfMHjDw

👀Over the course of this month, we’ll be sharing more information about each of the themes and how Grey Matter can support you.

You can find some details on our dedicated web page: https://greymatter.com/cyber-security-awareness-month/

☎️If you’re ever looking to discuss cyber security solutions, make sure to book a meeting or demo with our cyber security specialists Scott Harrison and James McKenny.
