In this video, Wilson Joseph from Level3MD covers the Top 10 Cybersecurity steps every financial advisor with 10-50 employees must implement now.

🔒 What's covered:
✅ Tip 1: Enable MFA on every client portal and CRM
✅ Tip 2: Train all staff to recognize phishing from spoofed custodians and compliance officers
✅ Tip 3: Encrypt all client records and financial communications
✅ Tip 4: Back up client data to an offline or air-gapped location daily
✅ Tip 5: Implement strict role-based access controls
✅ Tip 6: Patch portfolio management software immediately upon release
✅ Tip 7: Require VPN for all remote access to client data
✅ Tip 8: The FTC Safeguards Rule requires a Written Information Security Program
