Small and medium businesses (SMBs) are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals. A single breach can cause irreversible reputation and financial damage. Here’s why cybersecurity is now non-negotiable — and how you can protect your business affordably.
Common Threats Facing SMBs
- Phishing — deceptive emails that trick employees into giving credentials.
- Ransomware — encrypts your files and demands payment.
- Insider risks — accidental or malicious misuse of access.
Why Invest in Cybersecurity?
- Protect customer trust — data protection builds confidence.
- Reduce downtime — attacks disrupt business operations and revenue.
- Save costs — proactive controls are cheaper than breach remediation.
Affordable Security Steps for SMBs
- Start with strong endpoint protection and firewalls.
- Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) everywhere.
- Regular backups (offsite/cloud) and tested restore procedures.
- Employee security training and phishing simulations.
- Periodic vulnerability scans and a basic incident response plan.
