Sharing your business Wi-Fi with guests or customers can expose you to cyber risks. According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, having a separate guest Wi-Fi reduces the chance of a cyberattack.

You are a SHERO — Small-business Harnessing & Empowered by Real-life Opportunity — and guarding your inbox is your first line of defense.

Here’s how:

1. Log into your Wi-Fi router’s settings (usually via web browser). If you have trouble with this, get on the phone with your internet provider's helpdesk and they can take you through in real-time.

2. Find the option to create a guest network—most routers have this feature.

3. Set a different name and password for guests.

4. Keep guest network access separate from your business devices.

Guest networks keep your business systems safer.

No tech skills needed to get started.
