Small businesses are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats — often because they assume they’re too small to be targeted. In reality, hackers see them as easy prey due to weaker defenses. Here’s what you need to protect your business in 2025.

Why Cybercriminals Target Small Businesses

• Less likely to have up-to-date security tools

• Fewer staff dedicated to IT or compliance

• Easier access to customer data or financial systems

Key Security Practices Every Business Needs

1. Firewalls & Antivirus Protection: Basic layers of defense that stop many attacks before they happen.
2. Strong Password Policies: Enforce complex passwords and use multi-factor authentication (MFA).
3. Regular Backups: Automatic, cloud-based backups protect you from ransomware.
4. Employee Training: Many breaches occur due to phishing or human error — training reduces that risk.
5. Software Updates: Patch vulnerabilities by keeping all systems updated.

What to Do If You’re Breached

Have an incident response plan in place. Know who to contact, how to isolate affected systems, and how to notify customers if needed.
