Happy Halloween from the Cooper Technologies team!🎃

Your backup communication channel needs to use a different service from your company email and chat.

If Microsoft 365 goes down, you may lose Outlook and Teams at the same time. If you think an account has been compromised, don’t use either one to discuss the response because the attacker may be reading those messages.

Set up a separate way to contact staff during an outage or cyberattack. A managed SMS service or private messaging group can work for a small business.

Check how staff sign in before choosing the service. A backup messaging app that relies on Microsoft for its login may stop working alongside Microsoft 365.

Keep a copy of the staff contact list somewhere you can access without your main work account. Include the details for your IT provider and cyber insurer.

Decide who can send an emergency alert and how employees can confirm that the message is genuine. Then test the channel by sending a message and checking who receives it.

Some free VPNs make money by letting other people send traffic through your internet connection.

Google recently took down a large network that used devices running apps advertised as free VPNs.

While the VPN worked, the app also allowed other customers’ internet traffic to pass through the device.

On a work laptop, that traffic would appear to come from your company’s public IP address. Your IP could get blocked because of activity nobody in the business carried
out.

Google also found that some of this software could expose other devices on the same network.

Check which VPNs and browser extensions are installed on company devices. Staff should use the VPN provided by the business, not one they found online because it was free.

Don’t trust hotel Wi-Fi. It can be compromised even when you’ve joined the correct network.

Microsoft has found attackers taking control of the systems used for Wi-Fi login pages at hotels and conference venues. Once the login system has been compromised, guests can be redirected to a fake Microsoft 365 sign-in page or shown a fake browser update that installs malware.

The timing makes the request believable. You’ve just connected, the hotel page opens and it says an update is needed before you can continue. Checking the network name with reception won’t help because the hotel’s real Wi-Fi is involved.

Use your phone’s hotspot for work whenever possible. If you have to use hotel Wi-Fi, never enter your work password into the hotel registration page. And if the page asks you to download an update, certificate or security tool, disconnect. Joining Wi-Fi shouldn’t require you to install anything.

We’re here to help make sure your devices are properly protected. Reach out today!

When you log into a new tool with your Google account instead of making a fresh password, you’re tying that tool to your Google login. Do it enough times and one account controls all of them.

It’s quick, so most people click it without thinking.

The trouble starts if someone gets into that Google account. They get your email, and every app you logged into with it, in one go.

Google itself is a risk here too. If it ever suspends or locks your account, you can lose all those apps at once, and getting a Google account back is famously hard.

So for anything your business relies on, give it its own login and password, with twofactor turned on.

And put strong security on the Google account itself, since so much now runs through it.

By default, a Microsoft account will accept a login attempt from anywhere in the world.

Most attacks on Microsoft accounts come from overseas, from automated tools trying stolen passwords by the thousand. If your business only works in one or two countries, there’s no reason to allow a login from anywhere else.

There’s a setting in Microsoft 365 called Conditional Access that lets you block any login from outside the countries you operate in. Someone trying your password from the other side of the world is turned away, even if the password is right.

It won’t stop everything, and a determined attacker can route through your country to get past it. But it blocks the flood of automated attempts from places you’ll never deal with, and that’s most of what you’re up against.

You’ll need the right Microsoft plan, and it’s set up in the admin area, so ask your IT provider to turn it on and set the countries you work in.

Think about everyone outside your company who has a login to your systems: the web developer from two years ago, the marketing freelancer, the bookkeeper who left in March. A lot of those accounts are probably still active.

These accounts are easy to forget because the people aren’t your employees. But each one is a way into your business, and you have no idea how well that person guards their password.

Do this:
1. List every outside person and company with a login to your email, files, website, accounting, or any business system.

2. For each one, decide whether they still need it and when they last used it.

3. Turn off anything that’s no longer needed, and ask your IT provider to set a reminder to review this again in six months.

For the access you keep, give each outside party their own named login, never a shared one. If something goes wrong, you’ll want to know exactly whose account it was.

If you want your team to work fast, don’t skimp on their computers or your internet.

Everything moves quicker than it used to. Customers want fast replies, and the jobs often go to whoever gets back to them first. Your team can’t be quick if their tools are slow.

A laptop that takes an age to load, internet that keeps dropping, cheap software that hangs, all of it means your people spend half the day waiting around and working out ways past the problem. It’s frustrating, and good staff hate not being able to get on with the job because of the gear they’ve been given.

Spend a bit more here and you get it back. The work goes faster, and people are happier doing it.

You don’t need top-of-the-range everything. You just need computers and a connection that are quick and reliable enough to stay out of your team’s way.
