Small and medium-sized businesses are now prime targets for cyberattacks: phishing, ransomware, stolen credentials. The good news is that a handful of simple measures can sharply reduce the risk.
Start with the basics: strong, unique passwords kept in a password manager, two-factor authentication on email and critical tools, updates applied promptly, and regular backups that are tested and stored offline. Then restrict access rights to what each person really needs and train your staff to spot phishing attempts.
Finally, prepare for incidents: who to alert, how to isolate a compromised computer, how to restore data. A security audit identifies your weak points and helps prioritise actions — it is often the best first investment.
