The Importance of Internet and Email Security for Your Business

In today’s digital world, protecting your business goes far beyond your financial records — it includes safeguarding your online activity too. Cyber threats like phishing emails, malware, and data breaches can cause serious headaches for businesses of any size, leading to financial loss, identity theft, or compromised client information.

At Powers Bookkeeping, we see how quickly one bad click can create a major problem. That’s why it’s so important to stay alert:

• Verify Emails: Be cautious of unexpected emails asking for payments, account changes, or sensitive information.
• Use Strong Passwords: Change passwords regularly and avoid using the same one across multiple accounts.
• Update Software: Keep your antivirus, firewalls, and software up-to-date to protect against known vulnerabilities.
• Train Your Team: Make sure employees know how to recognize suspicious activity and understand security protocols.

A little awareness goes a long way in protecting your business and your finances. If you ever have questions about keeping your financial data safe, we’re always here to help.
