Lock your digital door – Prevent cybercriminals from getting inside<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Do you lock the front door when you leave? Of course. That gives a sense of security. Digitally, it is actually no different, only we sometimes forget it there. And that while your computer, laptop or smartphone often contains much more valuable information than you think. Think of login details for your e-mail, bol.com, PayPal or even your bank. If they fall into the wrong hands, it can have major consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What could happen? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A well-known example: criminals get hold of your bol.com login details. They place an order in your name, set the payment method to ‘pay later’ and have it delivered to a delivery point. You get the bill and the perpetrator is nowhere to be found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gets even more annoying when they get access to your email address. They can use that account to access many other services – and reset passwords, for example. Before you know it, you no longer have access to anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you do yourself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are a few important steps you can take now: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use 2-factor authentication (2FA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that you add an extra step to your password, for example a code via an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator). This is more secure than SMS, because text messages can be intercepted. This prevents hackers from simply logging in, even if they know your password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use strong and unique passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never use the same password for multiple accounts. And make your passwords long and hard to guess – think of a passphrase or a combination of words, numbers and symbols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these steps you are already taking big steps towards a safer digital world. But there is something else we really recommend: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Invest in good security software <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good virus scanner does much more than stop viruses. We are very enthusiastic about ESET<\/strong>, and for good reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are an official ESET specialist and reseller, and help our customers daily with choosing, installing and setting up the right security. Why are we so convinced of ESET? Because it really protects you, without you having to think about it all the time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Why choose ESET?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ESET is a European security company with a branch in the Netherlands (Sliedrecht), and is known for its reliable, user-friendly solutions. Below you can see what makes ESET so powerful: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. 1. Protection against phishing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Fake emails from ‘your bank’ or ‘PostNL’? ESET recognizes them and blocks fake sites automatically – even before you accidentally fill in your details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Recognizing <\/strong>fake <\/strong>web shops<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ESET automatically checks the reputation of webshops. Are they suspicious? Then you will be warned. This way you prevent yourself from paying for something that is never delivered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Protection against malware<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is your computer or smartphone suddenly slow? This could be due to unwanted software. ESET detects this and removes it silently, without slowing down your system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Securing your home network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your home network is an attractive target for hackers. Especially now that we are increasingly working from home and living online. We are increasingly using smart devices at home such as thermostats, cameras, speakers or even doorbells that are connected to your Wi-Fi network. ESET monitors your network, warns you of unknown devices and checks whether your router is properly secured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
