Small businesses are targets too
Many business owners believe they are "too small" to be hit by a cyberattack. In reality, small and mid-sized businesses are easy targets precisely because their defenses are weaker. The good news: a few basic steps close most of the gaps.
Good security starts with simple habits – not just expensive products.
The six steps
Two-factor authentication for every user, regular security updates, a tested isolated backup, least-privilege permissions, mailbox protection, and training staff to spot scams. Together they form a layer of protection that prevents most incidents and attacks.
Layered protection
Firewall, endpoint and email protection, and precise permissions for every user.
Incident readiness
Isolated backup, a recovery plan and monitoring that catches problems in time.
Key takeaways
- Turn on two-factor authentication wherever possible
- Install security updates on time
- Keep an isolated backup and test restores
- Give each employee only the permissions they need
- Train your team to spot suspicious emails
- Run a risk assessment once a year
