In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, cybersecurity is more crucial than ever for the success and integrity of any organization. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, it's vital to implement robust security measures to protect sensitive data and maintain trust with clients and stakeholders. To address these challenges, HubSpot has recently introduced new tools and features designed to bolster your organization's cybersecurity defenses.
Key Actions to Enhance Your Cybersecurity

Opt into Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through a second form of authentication, such as a mobile device, in addition to their password. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
-
Change Your Password Every 90 Days Regularly updating your password is a simple yet effective way to enhance security. It minimizes the risk of compromised credentials being used over a prolonged period.
