The Cybersecurity Guide for Small Businesses

Cybersecurity is not just for large technology companies. In recent years, 43% of cyber attacks target small and medium-sized businesses, precisely because attackers know they are often the least protected.

The good news: most breaches are preventable with a handful of disciplined habits. Here is what matters most.

The five biggest threats

1. Phishing emails, Around 82% of breaches begin with a single deceptive message. One click is all it takes.
2. Weak passwords, Still the number-one root cause of account takeover.
3. Malware and ransomware, Recovery costs run into millions, and downtime can close a business for days.
4. Unencrypted data, Weak web applications leak customer records that regulators and courts take seriously.
5. Missing updates, Unpatched Windows and Linux systems are the easiest door for an attacker to walk through.

The fast-win checklist

• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on every account that supports it.
• Run a daily backup of your critical data, and test that you can actually restore it.
• Use a VPN on public networks.
• Train your team to recognize phishing. Your people are your first firewall.
• Review employee access every three months and remove what is no longer needed.
