Cybersecurity.
One of the fastest growing industries, but still an after thought for many small businesses.
We frequently speak with small business about cyber security. In the past, we opened the conversation with
“What is your cyber security strategy?”
Common responses include:
- “Our IT handles that.”
- “We have anti virus and firewall”
- Stares Blankly
And our personal favorite – “ Our business isn’t large enough.”
We have changed the conversation as it became clear that many businesses think that their anti virus and firewall are a strategy.
Cybersecurity isn’t only the way you protect your business, your business’ critical data, but also how you respond to a breach.
We urge you to open the conversation in your business. To prepare for the conversation start thinking about what compliances you need to follow, what private information you store, and how critical it might be if someone you do business with has a data breach- and your business was part of the breach.
