I have a good firewall, Don't I?
Even if you have up-to-date security patches or licensing on your firewall, a good cybersecurity defense has many components, not just a firewall.
Nobody is after our little company...
No company is exempt. Small businesses are good targets for hackers to sharpen their skills
Our computers came with antivirus ... we should be fine
Manufacturers are most concerned about their bottom line. The cheap anti-virus that comes with the computer is not sufficient for a business environment.
We can't afford cyber protection
If cybersecurity isn't in your budget, then recovering from a cyber attack REALLY isn't in your budget
We have an IT guy in-house who handles Cyber-security
The field of Cybersecurity is specialized and in-depth. Don't rely on a team that doesn't have the skills to protect your business.
None of this applies to our company
Better watch out!

Are you prepared?
Loss of Company Reputation
Informing employees or customers whose data could have been compromised causes a loss in trust.
Loss of Important Data & Records
While you're sleeping or enjoying time with friends and family, cyber criminals can flip the switch that will encrypt all your data, making it unusable
Exposure or Redirection of Finances
Clever criminals can obtain information they can use to redirect money intended as payments to your business. They can also reveal financial information on the dark web.
Lawsuits for Breach
Other people or entities that were affected by the breach can blame you and seek to make you pay.
Exposure of Customer Data to the Internet
Even if you have good backups, encryption isn't the biggest danger, criminals can export data and publish it on the dark web.
Downtime While Systems are Rebuilt & Data is Recovered
Rebuilding systems and recovering data can be a timely endeavor. This downtime can cost a huge amount of lost revenue.
