With fraud and other cybersecurity threats on the rise and scammers using increasingly advanced schemes, it's more important than ever to adopt good habits to protect confidential information.

Cybersecurity is your business, too

We all have a role to play. As someone who runs or represents a business, you have access to sensitive personal, financial and tax information. Fraud and cyberattacks can directly impact:

• your business
• your employees
• your clients and customers
• your suppliers and business partners

Evolving security practices

Confidentiality is a top priority for us. So is keeping up with today's ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. With that in mind, we're continuing to modernize our authentication practices. If you're self-employed, we may email or text you a security code to confirm your identity (conditions apply).

Good habits

Review your access rights

When someone leaves your business or no longer needs access to your records, make sure to quickly update their authorizations and access rights.

Go to My Account for businesses to:

• cancel access rights using the user account management service
• revoke outdated authorizations and powers of attorney
• update your information

Check My Account regularly to make sure your contact and banking information is accurate and hasn't been changed without your knowledge.

Teach your employees good cybersecurity practices

Cybersecurity isn't just about technology and procedures—it's something you can do every day. Teach your employees to be on the lookout for suspicious emails, calls and messages, and other signs of fraud. Keep your user codes and passwords safe at all times. And be careful using our online services.
