What are the risks of cyberattacks for small businesses?
Cybercriminals present a significant risk to small businesses, with data breaches increasing by 152% globally in 2020 and 2021 compared to the previous two years. A 2021 study by IBM found that over half of small businesses experienced a cyberattack in the previous year, yet only 50% had a cybersecurity plan in place at the beginning of 2022.
How can I train my employees to prevent cyber threats?
Training your employees is crucial as they are often the first line of defense against cyberattacks. Establish basic security practices, such as maintaining strong passwords, avoiding suspicious files and phishing emails, and protecting sensitive information. Utilize resources like SBA training events, National Cybersecurity Alliance events, and CISA’s Stop Ransomware website to provide effective training.
What measures can I take to secure my business's data?
To secure your business's data, consider installing and regularly updating antivirus software, securing your networks with firewalls and encryption, and backing up critical data off-site or in the cloud. These measures can help protect your business from potential data loss due to cyberattacks.
