    Know what you have

    Keep a list of devices, servers, cloud services and who can reach them. You cannot protect what you cannot see.

    Steps that make the biggest difference

    1. Close what is not needed. Remove unused services and open ports.
    2. Use multi-factor authentication for remote access and admin accounts.
    3. Keep systems patched, starting with anything reachable from the internet.
    4. Separate the network so one compromised device cannot reach everything.
    5. Monitor and log sign-ins and unusual traffic.
    6. Back up important data and test the restore.
    7. Train staff to spot phishing.

    Test your defences
