As we kick off 2025, OWL Automotive Consulting encourages automotive dealerships to prioritize cybersecurity in the new year. With increasing online activity and sensitive customer data flowing through dealership systems, it's vital to enhance security measures. Start by conducting a thorough security audit, applying any necessary patches, and addressing system vulnerabilities. Protect customer data through encryption and compliance with industry standards. Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to secure access, and ensure employees use secure VPNs for remote work. Regularly monitor payment systems for fraud, train staff to recognize phishing, and enforce strict access controls. Back up critical data, secure your website from cyber threats, and establish an incident response plan. OWL offers expert support to help dealerships strengthen their cybersecurity, ensuring a safe and successful 2025. Let's make this year your dealership's safest yet!
