Cybersecurity For Small Businesses

Happy Halloween Everyone👻👻. 

Hope everyone was safe, which is ironic as todays topic is all about safety with cybersecurity. Cyber security has become a very important security concern for everyone in companies and in everyday normal life. As we have seen in recent events even in SETU being a victim of a cyber attack, cyber attacks have become more prominent as there are many more people working from home. It has also become easier for scammers to achieve their goals as many people don't even know sometimes at what they are opening on a daily basis through links and emails.

For small business a cyber attack could be detrimental as for some cyber attacks they do it for financial gain and for some businesses they cannot come back from the debt that they may be put into after it. The main way businesses get attacked is by the lack of education from the staff, weak passwords and an unsecure Wi-Fi network. Cyber criminals pray on these small businesses because they haven't the protection that the big companies have.

How small businesses can afford cost effective cybersecurity tools is by easily have a specific plan if an attack was to ever happen this may look like a backup drive with specific data for the company separate to the main server and maybe also installing a safe antivirus software to be able to detect any viruses in the system.

Hope this has been an insightful blog for many of you, stay safe!!!.
