Protecting Your Digital Fort

Hackers love small businesses. Is your sensitive data adequately secured?

• The Human Factor: Even the best tech is useless if employees fall for phishing scams and weak passwords.
• Password Hygiene: Enforce strong passwords, regular changes, and multi-factor authentication.
• Secure Your Systems: Antivirus, firewalls, encryption, and constant vigilance against new threats.
• Third-Party Risks: Vet vendors carefully, their lax security becomes YOUR vulnerability.
• Access Control: Limit sensitive data access to those absolutely needing it, reduces breach damage if it happens.
• Incident Response: Have a plan BEFORE you need it to minimize chaos and downtime.

IT security management isn’t optional, it’s your first line of defense in an increasingly risky world.
