🔒 A plain-English cybersecurity checklist
Small businesses rarely get hurt by movie hackers. They get hurt by basics left undone.
A reused password, an email that looked real, a laptop that missed its updates, a former employee who still has a login. The fixes are not glamorous and most cost little or nothing. They just have to get done.
▸ Turn on multi-factor login everywhere, starting with email
▸ Put the whole team on a password manager
▸ Back up, then prove it by restoring a file a few times a year
▸ Remove access the day someone leaves, and know which vendors can get in
👉 Swipe for the short version.
💬 When did you last actually restore something from your backup?
