Businesses big and small face digital threats every day. The average cybersecurity attack on a small business costs the victim, on average, $117,000. Small businesses must take proactive steps to secure their assets: identify the threats, set risk-tolerance levels, and implement technology solutions.

Fulfilling many of these security objectives requires specialized security solutions. Companies that find themselves under-resourced in terms of time and budget benefit from taking a technology partner. A variety of technologies must be employed in a carefully architected network in order to protect a business adequately.

In a rapidly changing field like cybersecurity, businesses must constantly update their knowledge and manage technological updates. These demands challenge smaller IT departments. Visit eatelbusiness.com/cybersecurity to learn how to right-size the firewall services you need to protect your business.

CONSIDER WHAT MISCHIEF UNRESTRICTED
ACCESS TO A NETWORK MIGHT ALLOW
—When an Arkansas company was attacked by ransomware in 2017 but refused to pay up, assailants encrypted 90,000 files
in less than 2 minutes.

THINK ABOUT EXPLAINING
A CYBERATTACK TO CUSTOMERS
—A four-star Austrian hotel was hit by a ransomware attack in which the hackers took control of the door lock system and locked out guests until the ransom was paid. When WannaCry plunged the National Health Service of England into chaos in 2017, doctors were forced to simply tell patients, “Our hospital is down.”
