Why Small Businesses Are Targets
Attackers know SMBs typically have weaker defenses than enterprises but still have valuable data and bank accounts. Over 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and 60% of victims close within six months.
All Understanding IT TopicsWhat Every Small Business Needs to Know
Cybersecurity Basics
Even a business with six employees needs real security now. These are the fundamentals every owner should understand before signing off on a budget.
The Foundational Controls
Most attacks succeed because basics are missing. Get these right first.
- Multi-factor authentication on every account
- Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) on every device
- Email filtering for phishing and malware
- Daily, tested, off-site backups
- Security awareness training for every employee
- Regular patching and vulnerability scanning
What Insurance Won't Save You From
Cyber insurance pays out only if you can prove you had reasonable controls in place when it happened. Most carriers now want MFA, EDR, backups, and training documented before they'll even quote you.
Where to Start
A risk assessment ranks your gaps so you can fix the highest-impact issues first. Most clients can address their top 5 risks in 60-90 days.
