What is cybersecurity?

Why it matters for a small business

You handle customer data, passwords, and sometimes payments. If it leaks or gets lost, it costs you money, time, and trust. Recovering from an incident almost always costs more than preventing it.

Common risks, in simple terms

Weak or reused passwords, fake emails asking for data, no backups, and outdated systems. Most attacks take advantage of a slip-up, not a genius move.

The basics that help

Unique, long passwords, two-factor verification, automatic backups, and keeping everything up to date. That alone closes the door on most problems.
