You can beef up your security with these five easy tips:

Use secure, unique passwords:
Some food for thought: A password with only seven alpha characters can be guessed in less than a second. Remember to always change your passwords every quarter, at the very least, to keep your website safe.

Perform routine security checks:
You need to know that an attack can come at any time, so routinely checking the security of your site is critical.

Keep your eye out for cybersecurity tips:
The world of cybersecurity is ever-changing, so it’s important to stay up to date on all cyberthreats.

Consider tools to safeguard your site:
It wouldn’t hurt to introduce you to some tools that can help you monitor and ward off cyber threats before they can even touch your small business website.

Install an SSL certificate right away:
Beyond establishing trust with your customers, an SSL certificate also establishes trust with Google. If you don’t have a secure site (which an SSL certificate ensures), Google Chrome will mark your site as “not secure,” which can affect your rankings in search results.

It’s important for you to stay in the loop, and follow new cybersecurity tips from the experts. Be sure to use unique and complex passwords, change those passwords every 3 months, perform routine security checks, back up your website regularly, consider a malware detection tool, and install an SSL certificate right away. There are many more cybersecurity tips to follow, but these five will provide you with a solid digital defense to start.
