Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Stop Abbreviating 2020 and Essential Tech Tips for the New Year."
Stop Abbreviating 2020
"Commit now to writing out all four digits of the year. Writing "20" instead of "2020" leaves the door open for fraudsters. For example, suppose you sign a credit contract with the date 1/27/20. A bad actor could change the date to 1/27/2019 and attempt to collect an additional year of payments."
Say a Final Good-bye to Windows 7
"Microsoft has now sunsetted its Windows 7 operating system. This means that, as of January 14, Microsoft no longer provides security updates and support for the product. Unfortunately, many businesses still have machines running Windows 7, leaving them extremely vulnerable to cyber attacks."
Check Your Compliance Status
"Important new data privacy laws take effect in California and New York in the first quarter of this year. Consequently, businesses can no longer afford to put privacy concerns on a back burner. Conduct an inventory of the privacy laws that apply to your industry, identify any gaps and begin implementing a compliance strategy."
