Essential 8. This is what the Australian Government thinks you need to start with first.

...

  • Get a Password Manager

    • 1Password Business or LastPass Enterprise. I don’t care which one, just get it.

  • Use your Password Manager

    • Every single business login needs to be in there.

    • Anything shared with your team or outside your team is only shared via the app.

    • I have both so my clients can share passwords with me via their app of choice.

  • Turn on 2 Factor Authentication for everything.

    • DO THIS NOW!

    • Yes, every app your business touches.

      • Eg Xero (now mandatory), Microsoft365, GSuite, Salesforce, Unleashed, Quickbooks, Twitter, Facebook

    • I like Authy, but it’s probably easiest to use the token generator in 1Password or LastPass. I would not use Microsoft or Salesforce specific ones unless needed (eg Salesforce needs to use theirs for Lightning Login).

    • I use a Yubikey for my most sensitive accounts - eg my GSuite, my M365, my Windows laptop, and my Salesforce.

  • Ensure the basics of Virus Protection, Malware Protection and Ransomware protection are on your devices.

    • Yes, that includes your Macs. Don’t risk your business on the myth that “Macs don’t get viruses”.

    • I use Microsoft defender.

  • Your laptop does have a secure login doesn’t it?

    • I use Windows Hello but also have my Microsoft login behind MFA using a Yubikey device.

  • Your phone does have a secure login doesn’t it?

    • I use Android fingerprint login.
