Don’t Be the Easy Target

Cyberattacks cripple small businesses. Are you adequately protected?

• The Basics are Your Bedrock: Strong passwords, regular software updates, firewalls are the FIRST line of defense.
• Train Your Team: Employees are often the weakest link, so educate on phishing scams, etc.
• Secure Your Systems: Encrypt sensitive data, limit access, have cloud backups for quick recovery.
• Incident Response Plan: Have one BEFORE you need it! Know who to call, how to communicate.
• Insurance Matters: Cybersecurity insurance can be the difference between survival and bankruptcy.
• Proactive, Not Reactive: Invest in cybersecurity to avoid potentially devastating losses down the road.

Cybersecurity is no longer an ‘IT issue’, it’s essential protection for businesses of all sizes.
