The Small Business Cybersecurity Myth: “We’re Too Small to Be Targeted.”
*Why would a cybercriminal come after my small business when there are much bigger companies out there?*
Cybercriminals don’t have to specifically choose your business. Many attacks are automated, scanning thousands of accounts and systems looking for an easy way in. Being smaller doesn’t necessarily make a business less attractive. In fact, small and midsize businesses can be appealing targets because attackers may expect them to have fewer security resources and weaker protections. A compromised password, an employee clicking the wrong email, an unpatched computer, or an account without multi-factor authentication could be all it takes.
You don’t have to be a big company to need good cybersecurity.
At AlphetaCS, we help businesses put practical protections in place, including:
• Multi-factor authentication and stronger account security
• Endpoint and network protection
• Security updates and patch management
• Backup and recovery solutions
• Email and phishing protection
• Monitoring for suspicious activity
Cybersecurity doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to match the risks your business actually faces. Ready to protect your business today or have questions about where your cybersecurity may be falling short? Give AlphetaCS a call.
