Small businesses are underserved by the cybersecurity community. Solutions are too complicated, take too long to implement, and are too expensive.
This often leads to do-it-yourself security, which means you're not fully addressing the risk of your organization as many do not have internal expertise.
In addition, requirements, whether vendor, client, insurance, or compliance, typically lead security initiatives. This reactive approach means rushed decisions to fulfill requirements over investing in cybersecurity for the long term.
We interviewed Bruno Aburto and Heather Noggle - two long-time small business security advocates on their top tips for helping organizations navigate the complexities of cybersecurity.
