Cyber Security for Business is Critical, Regardless of Business Size

NYC area cyber security consultant urges business leaders to prioritize cyber security, citing stats that show 60% of cyber-attacks target small businesses—in a new article from eMazzanti Technologies

HOBOKEN, N.J., Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A NYC area cyber security consultant and managed services provider (MSP) explains the importance of cyber security for business in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website. The informative article first characterizes cyber security as an essential business investment to protect valuable data.

The author then explains how 60 percent of attacks focus on small businesses because they often lack the security resources of larger organizations and criminals gain access more easily. He concludes by identifying cyber security for business best practices, including multi-factor authentication, security awareness training, and endpoint protection.

"Cyber security for business remains a critical strategy," stated Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies. "No matter the size of the organization, business leaders must understand and address continually evolving cyber challenges."

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Cyber Security for Business is Critical, Regardless of Business Size."

Cyber Criminals Target Small Businesses

"While data breaches at large enterprises make the headlines, 60 percent of attacks focus on small businesses. In the first place, small businesses store valuable data. And because they often lack the security resources of larger organizations, criminals can gain access more easily."

Cyber Security for Business Best Practices

"Multi-factor authentication (MFA): In a recent document from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), government experts repeatedly emphasized the importance of implementing strong MFA to protect systems. Passwords alone will not suffice."

"Security awareness training: Humans remain both the biggest risk factor and a critical part of cyber defense. Consequently, any viable security strategy must include engaging, regular security awareness training for users at all levels."

"Endpoint protection: Every device that connects to the business network broadens the attack surface. This includes PCs, laptops, mobile devices and IoT devices like security cameras. Implementing a zero-trust security stance, along with constant monitoring and encryption, help to mitigate the risks."

Essential Partnerships Improve Small Business Security

Security threats and the measures to protect against them evolve daily. For small businesses with minimal to no IT staff, addressing the security challenge can prove an almost insurmountable challenge. Partnering with security professionals like those at eMazzanti Technologies enables even small business leaders to benefit from enterprise-class cyber security.
