Business owners: consider this your cybersecurity wake-up call. Here’s the harsh truth most SMBs won’t admit: You are the best target. Not big tech. Not government agencies. Not “someone else.” Small and mid-sized businesses are cybercriminals’ sweet spot. Why? → You store sensitive data → You move fast (but not always securely) → You often don’t think you’re a target → You don’t have the resources larger organizations do to implement solid security Here’s what I wish more CEOs, founders, and ops leaders understood: Hackers don’t target companies because they’ve heard of them. They use tools to scan the internet for smaller companies with valuable data—then use automation and AI to attack them. It’s basic math: Expected Profit = Payout × Probability of a Successful Hack Sure, the payouts from SMBs are smaller—maybe $500K to $1M versus $5–10M from an enterprise—but large organizations can be 100x harder to break into. SMBs offer six-figure payouts with a fraction of the effort. But here’s the kicker: You don’t need a million-dollar budget to stay secure. You need a strategy. And a partner who actually cares. So here’s my free advice: ✅ Turn on MFA for everything (email, bank, apps). Skip SMS-based MFA. ✅ Get your backups off-site—and test them quarterly. ✅ Implement strong phishing protection for your email. ✅ Do a quarterly access audit (who still has access that shouldn’t?). Trust me—they’re not thinking about your security. Cybersecurity isn’t about fear. It’s about trust. And protecting everything you’ve worked so hard to build. If this hits home, let’s talk. This is exactly what my team does—every single day—for businesses like yours. ➡️ Reshare this if you know someone who needs to hear it. P.S. What’s one cybersecurity myth you’ve heard lately?
