Many small businesses assume hackers won’t bother with them. But 75% of small businesses experienced at least one attack last year. And 60% of those that suffered an attack didn’t make it six months afterwards.
If you want to strengthen your defenses, start with these foundational moves:
1. A written data protection policy
2. Reliable backups (cloud + offline)
3. Encryption for devices and sensitive information
4. Activity monitoring so you catch issues early
5. Secure software with the right compliance safeguards
We've seen the financial chaos cyber incidents can create, and we can tell you this: protecting your data is protecting your business.
