October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, an annual campaign established by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to raise awareness about and educate the public and business owners on cybersecurity. Having secure systems is important for all businesses, including small ones that may not feel at risk of cyber attacks due to their small size.
Given that 80 percent of small businesses have no employees other than the owner, they are stretched extremely thin and at risk of being predominantly unprepared to withstand breaches in their systems.
To helps small business owners with their security, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering a webcast, Cybersecurity 101: Protecting Your Business from Cybercrime, October 27, 2016 at 1 p.m. EST.
According to the Wall Street Journal, over 34,000 computer security incidents occur every day – and 62 percent of those incidents involve breaches of small and medium-sized businesses.
