We often read about the security breaches of data in large corporations. In these breaches, personal information of consumers is leaked and makes headlines. But have you ever given thought to the security of Small Businesses against hackers? Although this is a regular occurrence, it doesn’t receive much media attention. In fact, many entrepreneurs are unaware that their small businesses are on the verge of major security breach. They need a cybersecurity solution.  

 Why do Small Businesses need Cybersecurity? 

Small businesses are becoming the new target for hackers. They are a ‘sweet spot’ for hackers, because they have less security and are unaware that they may be a target. Many believe they don’t have anything worth being stolen, so they never consider that they could be a target of an attack. This attitude, as well as lack of interest in investing in cybersecurity measures, make them the prime target for cyber attackSecurity breaches are devastating for such small businesses. It can cause loss of trust from clients, and high ransom fees for data to be returned.  

 The main goal of the cyber attack is to exploit and steal sensitive data. Whether the data is personal or related to customer information, it is stolen by the attackers. There are many types of attacks like APT, DDoS, Password attack, Malware, phishing, and so on. 

Cyber attacks are nightmare for security. Staff may not have any idea about the unknown flaws in your system until it is too late and customer or company data has been stolen. Sometimes, malware infects a machine and demands payment, or ransom. Ransomware malware either threatens to publish your credential information or lock down the systemPhishing is a type of cyber theft which includes collecting sensitive information, such as credit card information via a legitimate looking website and then selling the information to others or using it immediately themselves. 

 Cyber-security Solutions 

There is no single solution that can protect you from all cyber attacks. The market has different kinds of security software which offer protection at different levels. Antivirus is the most commonly used solution to protect a computer against cyber attacks. It is quite effective in dealing with most of the malware and there are many kinds available for each unique requirement. 

 Firewalls add another level of security to your software and hardware. It offers protection by not granting access to an unauthorized user on your network and computer. Some operating systems, like Windows come with such firewall programs. Always keep in mind that there is no one size fits all security solution. You would need to consider all that you want to protect to find the best system for your needs on the market. Do not take the security of your small business lightly. It can cost you much more than a ransom fee, it can cost you customers and even your business.
