Prevent
Whether you are an everyday user or in charge of an organization's IT apparatus, implementing cybercrime prevention tools is a no-brainer. For Everyday Cybersecurity this includes using strong passwords, being careful about what information you share online, and being aware of common cybercrime scams. However sometimes a more structured approach, or Enhanced Protection, is needed for small businesses or individuals requiring heightened security. For large organizations Advanced Security is required, including sophisticated Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), security simulations, and strict access control.

Report
If you are the victim of a cybercrime, it is important to report it to the authorities. This will help them to investigate the crime and track down the perpetrators. Cybercrimes are dramatically underreported, people are sometimes embarrassed, or they don’t think anyone will do anything. The truth is that authorities are investing more money in cybersecurity every year.

Recover
Once you have reported a cybercrime, there are steps you can take to recover from it. A lot of the time these steps occur before the crime happens, like keeping a backup of your data or having a disaster recovery plan. Otherwise it may include things like changing your passwords, monitoring your credit report, and filing insurance claims.
