Cybervillains seem to be targeting small businesses, with research showing that at least 43% of all breaches are aimed at small enterprises."

Protect your company’s reputation, assets, and customer data from cybercriminals with Xiber’s Network Security & Firewall

 

If you’ve been paying attention to the news, it’s hard to miss the fact that cybercriminals are popping up faster than mushrooms after a rainstorm—and everyone is at risk. Hackers have interfered with entire nations, disrupted infrastructure, and hit multinational corporations with ransomware. Interestingly — but not in a good way—the United States takes pride of place as the country with the most breaches and the highest average cost per breach.

 

Even more worrisome is the fact that these cybervillains seem to be targeting small businesses, with research showing that at least 43% of all breaches are aimed at small enterprises. In part, this flurry of attack activity on small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) may be due to the fact that smaller operations often skimp on cybersecurity strategies, thinking—erroneously—that they are too small to be on the radar.

 

But nothing could be further from the truth. With bad guys proliferating and cyberattacks on the rise, every business, no matter how small, needs a cybersecurity superhero to help ward off cybercriminals and keep data safe. It’s for that very reason that our team at Xiber has developed a complete security solution featuring next-generation firewalls and zero-trust data protection. This all-in-one, cost-effective solution pits the best layered, end-to-end defense against cyber threats and ransomware at your service.

 

It’s Deterred, It’s a Plan—No, It’s XiberSecurity to the Rescue

If you are planning to protect your business appropriately from the threat of data breaches and other cyberattacks, you need to have a robust plan in place—before a breach occurs. Deterrence is key and being prepared for potential threats with good cyber hygiene is essential. In fact, four things you can do right now can assist you in putting together a practical cyber hygiene plan:

 

  • First, implement a multi-factor authentication strategy for all company and employee accounts and passwords.
  • Then, ensure that your software and hardware are appropriately updated, and all patches are installed as soon as they become available.
  • Next, educate staff on social engineering and other typical hacking techniques such as phishing to reduce the chances that one wrong click will download malware onto your computer.
  • Finally, insist upon strong and unique passwords and ensure they are changed on a regular basis.

 

Obviously, if just creating a cyber hygiene plan was enough to keep hackers at bay, your business would be completely safe at this point. However, cybercriminals are very sophisticated, and they use a number of ever-evolving techniques to pinpoint and gain access to your sensitive information. To ensure you have the ultimate protection against these complex tactics, you need more than just a plan; you need XiberSecurity. With XiberSecurity in place, your company will have access to two hard-hitting cyber defense strategies:
