If you only do two things for your security this quarter, do these. They are inexpensive, fast to roll out, and they stop the attacks that actually happen to small businesses.
1. Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
MFA means a stolen password alone is not enough to get in — an attacker also needs a code from your phone or an app. Microsoft has reported that MFA blocks the vast majority of account-compromise attacks. Turn it on for:
- Email (the master key to everything else)
- Banking and payroll
- Remote access and VPNs
- Any admin account
Use an authenticator app or hardware key rather than SMS where you can.
2. A password manager
The reason people reuse passwords is that remembering dozens of strong ones is impossible. A password manager solves that: it generates and stores unique, strong passwords so a breach at one service does not cascade across all your accounts.
- One strong master password (plus MFA) protects the vault.
- Team plans let you share credentials securely — no more passwords in spreadsheets or sticky notes.
Together these two tools close the door on the most common break-ins. Techtrix rolls them out for clients with zero drama as part of proactive cybersecurity.
