As we enter 2022, it’s once again that time we refresh the login credentials that are used to access important company data. For the last three years, BDC Group has taken important steps to upgrade and enhance our data security. This includes keeping our cloud-based Microsoft email secure through Duo Mobile security, enhanced firewall protection for all data you access on a daily basis on the server and hosting and backing up data imported into Foundation.

Why do we change credentials so frequently? As phishing attempts continue to double every year since 2019 (Verizon), frequent password changes will help small businesses like BDC Group continue to protect our important data for both end users and customers.

Did You Know:

• 96% of all data phishing attempts are excuted via email (IntelligentCIO)
• 85% of phishing attempts specifically target user credentials (Egress)
• 65% of targeted phishing attacks focus on top executives of the company first (Broadcom)

We appreciate everyone’s continued participation in refreshing credentials throughout the year to ensure our data remains protected and safe.
