4 Essential Steps Small Businesses Should Take to Identify Cyber Risks and Help Protect Their Business

Research shows that small businesses are as likely to be hit by a cyberattack as larger enterprise businesses. Often with fewer resources to defend themselves and absorb the cost of an attack, small businesses are particularly vulnerable.

For these business owners, building a robust cybersecurity strategy amid an evolving threat landscape can be challenging. Thankfully, there are steps owners can take to help protect their companies from online threats.

Your customers should:

1. Assess Their Digital Footprint: Evaluate the organization’s digital assets, including network infrastructure, software systems, and employee cybersecurity awareness and identify vulnerabilities.
2. Invest in Employee Training and Awareness: Train employees to recognize and respond to threats like phishing.
3. Monitor and Detect Anomalies: Implement a multi-layered security approach with antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
