Why Every Small Business Needs a Cybersecurity Plan

"We're too small to be a target." It's the most dangerous assumption a small business owner can make. Small businesses are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals — precisely because they're less protected than large enterprises.

What a basic cybersecurity plan should include

• A business-grade firewall that inspects incoming and outgoing traffic

• Endpoint protection on every device that touches your network

• Regular software and firmware updates to close known vulnerabilities

• Strong password policies and multi-factor authentication

• A data backup plan so you can recover if something goes wrong

The cost of doing nothing

The average cost of a data breach for a small business can run into tens of thousands of dollars. A proactive cybersecurity plan costs a fraction of that.
