Cybersecurity, which is the practice of protecting your systems, programs and networks from digital attacks, should be a top priority for every business owner in 2024.
We have all heard of the disastrous consequences that a cyber attack can have on a business. And the small business owner who shrugs and thinks, “It can’t happen to me. The cyber criminals are targeting the bigger businesses” does so at his/her own peril. In fact, 43% of all cyber attacks target smaller businesses. From the perspective of hackers (who never take vacations, by the way), every business is fair game. And another daunting statistic is that 60% of businesses which experience a significant data loss due to a cyber attack go out of business within six months.
In short, it is imperative for businesses to take cyber threats – and the possibility of being hacked by cyber criminals – very seriously.
Business owners have many questions about cybersecurity. We get them all the time.
- What are the types of cyber attacks?
- What are the different kinds of phishing attacks?
- What are the steps that a company can take to protect data?
- What is penetration testing of a network?
- What should a company’s anti-virus software do?
- What is data backup?
The word “cybersecurity” should be top of mind for every business owner. It is a very complex issue, though, and it can be challenging to understand all the terms and nuances associated with it.
“If only there were a simple to understand book on the subject,” you might think.
