đ¨ Texas Small Business Owners: Are You Protected Against the Growing Cyber Threat? đ¨
âIf you think hackers only target massive corporations, think again. Small and mid-sized businesses are now prime targets for cybercriminals.
âHere is the harsh reality for 2026:
đ 43% of small businesses have faced at least one cyberattack in the past 12 months, with phishing and ransomware leading the charge.
đ 60% of small businesses that suffer a major cyber incident are forced to close their doors within 6 months due to recovery costs and lost trust.
đ Less than half of businesses with fewer than 50 employees have a functional security plan in place.
âThe Good News: Texas Law Wants to Protect You đĄď¸
Recent changes to Texas law are giving small businesses a massive incentive to get secure. Under Texas Senate Bill 2610, businesses can qualify for a legal "safe harbor." If your business suffers a data breach, this law can shield you from devastating punitive damages in a lawsuitâbut only if you can prove you had a documented cybersecurity program in place before the attack occurred.
âFurthermore, 2026 updates expanding the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) enforce stricter rules on how companies collect, process, and protect consumer data. Ignoring these frameworks isn't just an IT risk anymore; it's a major legal liability.
âDon't wait until an attack happens or a compliance audit catches you off guard.
