"We're too small. Hackers go after big companies."
We hear this from WA business owners regularly. And we get it, it's a reassuring thought.
But here's the reality: cybercriminals don't hand-pick targets. They run automated tools that scan thousands of businesses at once, looking for the easiest way in. Small businesses often make that list precisely because their defences are lighter.
The consequences aren't abstract either. A ransomware attack on a small business typically means days of downtime, lost client data, and a recovery bill that can run into tens of thousands of dollars.
The good news? The basics go a long way. Strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and regular backups close the most common doors attackers use.
If you're not sure whether your business has those basics covered - that's exactly what we're here for.
