Amid ever-intensifying cybercrime threats, small businesses make prime targets for hackers seeking quick paydays through ransomware attacks or stealing customer payment card data, healthcare records, and other sensitive information. Yet most small companies lack full-time IT security staff or small business cybersecurity knowledge. Thankfully, we offer cost-efficient security solutions finely tuned to the unique infrastructure, budgets, and business objectives of small firms across all industries.
Here are 5 pillars of strong small business cybersecurity programs.
- Multi-layered Prevention Tools. Advanced firewalls, anti-malware scanners, intruder detection programs, and similar mechanisms establish interconnected barriers blocking both known and zero-day threats to your onsite network and in the cloud.
- Employee Security Training. Ongoing education surrounding small business cybersecurity makes staff savvier and less likely to click harmful links or divulge information carelessly. Testing through simulated phishing attacks reinforces these lessons.
- Lockdown Incident Response Preparations. Backup/disaster recovery platforms guarantee restoring encrypted data and rebooting operations without paying ransoms. Our incident response experts provide guidance aimed at limiting damage when criminals do break through.
- Vulnerability Assessments. Ethical hackers pinpoint weaknesses in networks and applications so they get patched before real attackers exploit the oversights. Annual penetration testing proves essential.
- CISO Advisory Services. We offer Chief Information Security Officer-level guidance on risk management policies and response plans from veteran cybersecurity directors at larger enterprises.
While no silver bullet single-handedly wards off data breaches, melding ongoing user training, infrastructure safeguards, and incident readiness strengthens small business cybersecurity to reduce risks in today’s hyper-digital world. Call us to discuss options for your small business.
