Outsmart Disaster Resiliency Tip: Small Business Cybersecurity

How can I prepare my business for potential cybersecurity threats?

Your small business is exposed to many different types of threats, and in this modern era of business, this also includes cybersecurity threats.

Many small businesses may lack the resources or time to devote to cybersecurity, which makes them especially vulnerable to a cyber-attack. This is why cyber criminals are three times more likely to target your small business. You can start protecting your business today by learning about some cybersecurity best practices, understanding the common threats, and dedicating the resources needed to improve your cybersecurity.

Many business owners may already understand the importance of using strong passwords, but what else can you do to protect your business? For example, is your internet connection protected by a firewall to prevent people from accessing your data? Have you thought about how you can protect your mobile devices from cyber threats?
