For the average small or mid-sized business (SMB), a cyberattack is not a minor IT glitch—it’s an extinction-level event. Attackers know that SMBs often have limited security resources, making them easy targets for ransomware, data theft, and sophisticated phishing schemes. If you think a cyberattack is something only large corporations need to worry about, think again.

At Get Custom Tech, we specialize in shielding businesses like yours. We need you to understand that inaction is the single largest risk factor.

🛡️ Immediate Actions You Must Take Today

If the risks above concern you, here are three high-priority, non-technical actions you can and should implement immediately to reduce your attack surface:

1. Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Everywhere: If you have business email, cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive), or financial accounts that rely on only a password, they are vulnerable. Turn on MFA immediately to require a second verification (usually a code from your phone) for access.
2. Verify Your Backups: Don’t just assume your backup system is working. Verify the last completed backup and, critically, test restoring a file or folder to ensure the process actually works. Your recovery plan hinges on this data being accessible and uncorrupted.
3. Review Employee Access: Conduct a quick audit of who has access to your most sensitive data (financial systems, HR files, core customer lists). Remove access for employees who have left the company, and ensure current employees only have the minimum access they need to do their jobs (Principle of Least Privilege).
