In an increasingly digitized world, businesses of all sizes face the ever-present threat of cyberattacks. While large enterprises often dominate headlines when breaches occur, small businesses and startups are just as susceptible, if not more so, due to their limited resources and security measures. In this detailed guide, we will delve deep into the realm of cybersecurity, providing a comprehensive checklist specifically tailored to the needs of small businesses and startups. By following these meticulous steps, you can fortify your organization’s cybersecurity posture, safeguard sensitive data, and protect your assets from cyber threats.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and startups are particularly attractive targets for cybercriminals. They often lack the robust security infrastructure found in larger enterprises, making them low-hanging fruit for hackers.
