Cybersecurity risk management is a critical priority for businesses of all sizes. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), once seen as less attractive targets, are now prime victims due to limited IT resources and an underestimation of cyber threats. To protect their operations, SMBs must prioritize cybersecurity training.
Whether handled internally or outsourced, business owners are ultimately responsible for cybersecurity. Their decisions on technology and training directly impact vulnerability. Neglecting cybersecurity can lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and legal consequences. Strong leadership and employee involvement are key to effective risk management.
