National Small Business Week: a cybersecurity survival guide

In many ways, small businesses are the powerhouse of the U.S. economy, a reality celebrated this week by a series of events, online and offline, coordinated as part ofNational Small Business Week. And what powers many small businesses today, in addition to the passion and hard work of owners and employees, is digital information and communication technology. These days, that technology — from desktop PCs to mobile apps and cloud services — is increasingly referred to as “cyber”, and protecting that technology is the task of cybersecurity.

So this week seemed an appropriate time to publish a Small Business Cybersecurity Survival Guide, to outline the biggest risks that small businesses face in the cyber realm and how best to defend against the latest cyber threats. The guide contains strategic advice from ESET security experts on what precautions small businesses should be taking to protect themselves and keep vital data from falling into the wrong hands.
