FTC Releases Cyber Threat Video Playlist

FTC Cyber Threat Videos

FTC Releases Videos to Help Protect Small Businesses from Cyber Threats

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC)  has developed a video playlist of eighteen videos that will educate small business owners on how to protect their sensitive information. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages small business owners to watch and review them. The videos offer advice on how to protect your small business from cyber threats like ransomware.

The FTC offers blog posts, helpful videos, and tips for securing any business. All of the material is free to use and customize.

The FTC has valuable lessons for safeguarding your business ventures.

Secure operations

Businesses should not collect data they don’t need. For example, if birthdates and driver’s license numbers are not needed to open accounts, then don’t ask the user for them. This puts your customers and your company at risk. Build in security from the start. Hackers cannot steal what you don’t have.

When sensitive data is needed during the course of business, then only store the data as long as needed. If your business collects payment information, only retain the payment card numbers as long as your company needs them to process the transaction.  After that, dispose of it securely by deleting it from all databases and devices.

Fix vulnerabilities

Limit permissions. Only allow those employees who need to view sensitive data the access to do so.

Notify Appropriate Parties

If you suspect a data breach, a swift response is appropriate to limit damage. The sooner you notify law enforcement, the more they can helps. Often, a wire transfer can be reversed with the timely cooperation of your bank.

The FTC also created a video which is the agency shared on YouTube.
