Why Every Business Needs Cybersecurity — Even Small Ones

Honestly, speaking.

When you think of cyberattacks, what comes to your mind are big names, multinational companies, banks, or government sites, correct?

But what about what I told you, that small establishments such as yours are the ones most susceptible to attack?

Sounds scary? It ought to be.

Now I would like to explain to you why. However, I am a small business, so why would anyone hack me? That is what the majority of small businesspeople believe.

That is what makes them easy targets.

Small businesses are ideal targets for cybercriminals since:

  • You possess valuable information (customer data, bank data, e-mails).
  • You generally possess poor security.
  • You do not have a dedicated IT department that monitors your back 24 hours a day.

In short? You are easy, quiet, and you are profitable.

The Harsh Reality (Yes, Even in Pakistan!)

You may have a small online clothes company, a digital agency, a delivery services startup, etc. It doesn’t matter what you sell to hackers. They are concerned with ease of entry.

Did you know?

Small businesses are becoming victims of 43 percent of all cyberattacks.

Sixty percent of them go out of business in less than 6 months of a serious breach.

According to Forbes and CNBC, many of the most promising prospects have already applied for jobs in the mining industry. (Source: Forbes & CNBC)

You think you are still too small to be noticed?

Real dangers that you are in (just now)

Let me show you a glimpse of what is going on in the background:

1. Phishing Emails

The fake email, which appears to be that of your bank?

 It’s not. And it only takes a single click and hate, your entire system has been hacked.

2. Ransomware

Your information is encrypted, and you are required to pay using Bitcoin to unlock it.

 No backup? You lose it all.

3. Password Attacks

Admin123 is not a password. It is an open door.

4. Insider Mistakes

A virus is downloaded by one employee by mistake.

All of a sudden, you see adult advertising on your site. Yep, it occurs.

Cybersecurity is So Costly, isn’t it?

Umm, not really. That does not imply that you should go and purchase some high-priced tools that cost lakhs.

Take baby steps:

  • Strong 2FA passwords
  • Frequent software Updates
  • Take a backup of the data once a week
  • Never dismiss the antivirus warnings
  • At least train your employees (even 2)

These minor actions can prevent 80 percent of regular attacks.
