INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC

Scammers took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to target businesses in all industries with a range of scams including but not limited to phishing, vaccine supply scams and business email compromise. The healthcare industry remains the highest reporting sector of cyber incidents in 2020, accounting for 22% of all breaches.

Some things to keep in mind when protecting your business from the impact of fraud and scams.

Genuine emails about online government or business services will not include links to sign in pages, or ask for your personal information, account details, PIN or passwords.

If you are unsure if the email, call or SMS you have received is genuine, do not click any links or open any attachments, and contact the organization using contact details that you’ve found yourself (e.g. using a search engine like Google).

If you are unsure about a change to a supplier or employee’s bank account details, call them to confirm even if an explanation is provided by email.

Make sure your business computers have up-to-date security software.

Train your staff to be on the lookout for scams or anything unusual.

Genuine charities will likely be registered. You can check this using the Tax Exempt Organization Search Tool on the IRS website.

It’s a business’ responsibility to safeguard not only your own information, but also any sensitive data that belongs to employees and customers.

Keep informed about common cybersecurity threats and scams.

Instill best security practices throughout your business.

Move to implement new and innovative technologies to secure data.
