Why is cybersecurity important for small businesses and schools?
Small businesses and schools are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals because they often lack the resources to implement advanced security measures. Cyberattacks can lead to data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage, all of which can be devastating for these organizations.
By prioritizing cybersecurity, small businesses can protect sensitive customer data, and schools can safeguard student and staff information. It’s about ensuring continuity, building trust, and minimizing risks in an ever-evolving threat landscape.
