"There are several things that business actors need to do to carry out cyber security measures, namely carrying out all the suggestions for cyber defense for yourself and your employees, always backing up your important files and storing your backups offline, avoiding using pirated applications for any reason, "Always activate antivirus on devices used for business. If your business is very dependent on online systems, make sure you have internet service backup. If your business has private online servers and applications, make sure your server has gone through the Hardening stage."
