Take Action To Protect Against Cybersecurity Threats in Multifamily

Operating a company without having a cybersecurity plan is risky business. With advancements in technology moving at such a fast pace, it’s critical to implement strong security measures, educate your employees, and have a plan in place for a cyber attack.

Cybersecurity Affects Every Business

Businesses of all sizes, in all industries, and anywhere in the world are at risk. The multifamily industry is an especially valuable target for cyberattacks. We collect lots of sensitive information, such as SSNs, birthdates, and previous addresses. One breach could be worth hundreds of thousands in damage (and more)!

How To Protect Your Properties & Business

Implement strong security, such as firewalls and antivirus software.

Educate employees about cybersecurity risks and best practices.

Create policies to prevent a cyberattack & have a plan in place in case it happens.

Cybersecurity Affects Every Business

Cyberattacks come in many forms and fashions, with varying levels of sophistication. They target businesses of every size, type, and location. According to the FBI, an estimated 693,000+ cybercrime complaints were filed annually in recent years.

Unfortunately, it’s likely not a matter of “if” your business will fall victim to a cyberattack but “when.”

Educate Your Team About the Risks

Highlight the importance of cybersecurity to employees and the risks they face.
Train employees on all types of cyberattacks, like phishing attacks, ransomware attacks, and data breaches.
Inform the team on how to protect themselves and the business from threats. Even simple training, like using strong passwords, goes a long way toward prevention.
