• Small businesses are targeted 

• Cybersecurity education is necessary  

• Phishing scams are on the rise 

• Multifactor authentication is necessary 

We know small business owners have enough on their plates and jobs to balance without the addition of worrying about tech. Unfortunately, technology and cyber security can no longer be put on the back burner. We now live in a world where potential customers can easily discover us online but so can hackers and bad actors. 

These are 4 reasons Small Businesses can no longer ignore Cybersecurity: 

Small Businesses Look Like Easy Targets  

43% of all cyber-attacks specifically target small businesses. We know you might not have time to become a cyber security expert and put proper protections in place, unfortunately hackers are relying on this fact. Save yourself from future stress and revenue loss by implementing some simple cyber security measures. 

Cybersecurity Education is More Important Than Ever 

Create a 70% decrease in your business security related risks, by just having your staff complete proper cybersecurity training. As most breaches are caused by simple human error, sharing a password or document with the wrong person or clicking on the wrong link. 

Phishing Scams Are on The Rise  

Do you know how many of emails in your inbox are phishing attempts? All it takes is responding to one email and your business could lose thousands of dollars, customer data and trust and more. 

Passwords Aren’t Enough 

Not only are your passwords probably not secure enough, they also aren’t protecting your sensitive accounts on their own. Properly setting up multifactor authentication is a necessary step to protect your business from cyber-attacks. 

 Which of these cyber security factors have you thought about already? Ignoring the serious risks of a lack of Cyber Security can do serious damage and even lead to the demise of your business.
