Safety I the number one thing to check for in any online busines or even when it comes to saving things online when it comes to protection. From numbers, mails, credit card numbers, gift card numbers, passwords, company details, employee details and IDs, and other data.
The safety of any business is important and online safety is part of it as online data not properly saved can be compromised, leading to serious issues for the business and the team. In so many cases, issues of compromised internet data can lead to loss of money, hackers using data to defraud others, which in so many cases can lead to case being filed against the company.
Although hackers find ways to break through the security online on a regular base, developers have been trying to improve on security but even at the same time, there are a simple steps to take when doing anything online to increase security one of it is using a strong password. Using date of births, names, relative names, pet names, initials, are wrong combinations to be used as password. Create unique passwords for each unique account and sites, emails, banking passwords and so on. The passwords should include capital letters, alphanumeric, characters and should be at least eight combination long.
One other way to keep your online details safe is using 2FA. Two factor authenticators is a process of using another site, device, or application to verify a login or any other action on another site. Using 2FA makes it very difficult for hackers to access your account as you need another device elsewhere to verify the login.
Another way hacker get access to your online details is through phishing sites. Using fake site address to get information about the user visiting the link. The links and the site interface always look real with just a little difference which are often not noticeable which they use to get the necessary information needed. One thing to be careful about is phishing links as a businessperson who has online presence. Properly examine emails and link associated with each mail, check the sender properly, and make sure the site you are visiting is not asking for details from you.
On a final note, as your business grow, it is good to secure it properly and not get caught unguarded, thereby causing a lot of damage.
Greetings friend, you are absolutely right, to have an online business you need a lot of security, not to be swindled by hackers, the 2FA although sometimes it is tedious is a good option to protect our accounts.
See you later, have an excellent week! 👍

Electronic security offers flexibility in exchange for capability, most electronic security stands a chance of being broken down, no matter how sophisticated they seem, so security will always be an issue as long as we stay in the internet

One remark: the recommendation you make - to create passwords that include capital letters, alphanumeric, characters and should be at least eight combination long - is outdated and insecure, as I discuss here: https://steemit.com/hive-175254/@lbarbera/your-insecure-passwords-and-where-to-find-them
There are much better ways to create strong passwords.
Using 2FA on the other hand is a very good recommendation, and I also always suggest to use a good password manager.
Keep up the good work.
