๐จ Small businesses are not too small to be targeted.
In fact, attackers often look for businesses with fewer security controls, smaller IT teams, and limited backup resources.
One compromised account.
One phishing email.
One untested backup.
That can be enough to disrupt an entire business.
๐ก๏ธ The essentials matter:
โข Enable MFA everywhere
โข Use unique passwords
โข Train your team against phishing
โข Keep tested offline backups
โข Separate business and personal accounts
โข Have a basic incident response plan
Cybersecurity isn't about having the biggest security budget.
It's about getting the fundamentals right before an attacker forces you to.
Your business size doesn't determine your cyber risk. Your security habits do.
