Smaller businesses are not immune to data breaches.
Threats to business and client data continue to increase as more businesses turn to cloud- and web-based apps and tools to run their day to day operations. While making it easier to conduct business over large distances, these services can make them prime targets for hackers and scammers.
Any of these common mistakes can put your business at risk:
- Lacking an effective security strategy, or any strategy at all
- Not understanding the scope of your risks
- Viewing data protection as a technology problem and not managing it as an business process and cultural problem
- Trying to create a security strategy without taking short term wins and long-term goals into account
- Lack of awareness of data and IT assets, contents, sensitivity level, and locations
- Failing to see the big picture of how security touches all aspects of your organization
- Not testing, monitoring, and updating their security on a regular basis
- Inadequate employee and management data security education
- Denying that you’re a target: Small to medium sized businesses accounted for 55% of confirmed data breaches from 2014 - 2019
