Cyber Covenant: Small Business, BIG Target
Small businesses are under siege.
Many owners think, "Why would anyone target me?" After all, aren’t hackers going after the big guys?
But here’s the shocking truth: small businesses are increasingly becoming prime targets for cybercriminals. Why?
Because, in many cases, they’re seen as low-hanging fruit—more vulnerable and often less prepared for attacks.
At PSLA Security, we are now providing small businesses the service they need, Cyber Covenant, because we understand the responsibility of securing your business against digital threats, regardless of its size.
Why Small Businesses?
Cybercriminals are smart. They know that large corporations typically have robust cybersecurity systems in place—security teams, multi-million-dollar budgets and advanced technology. But small businesses? They often lack the resources to invest heavily in cybersecurity. In fact, over 40% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and the effects can be devastating.
Small businesses are also more likely to have weaker defenses, outdated software and less awareness of cybersecurity best practices. These factors make them attractive to attackers looking for an easy way in. And once in, the damage can be severe: financial loss, legal liabilities, loss of customer trust and even closure.
Understanding the Threats
Hackers aren’t picky. They use automated tools to scan the internet for vulnerabilities, meaning any business with an online presence could be found and targeted. Common threats to small businesses include:
Phishing Attacks: These can come through email, phone calls, or even text messages, tricking employees into divulging sensitive information.
Ransomware: This type of malware locks your data and demands a ransom for its release. Small businesses, in particular, are hit hard by these attacks, as the cost of paying or recovering data can be insurmountable.
Insider Threats: Not all threats come from outside. Employees or contractors with access to sensitive information can unintentionally (or intentionally) compromise your security.
Small Businesses Have a Big Responsibility
It’s a misconception that cybersecurity is solely an IT issue. At PSLA, we believe cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility. From the CEO to the front-line staff, each team member plays a role in maintaining security. As a small business, you don’t need an army of IT professionals or a seven-figure budget to make a big impact.
Remember, the cost of prevention is far less than the cost of recovery. Small investments in cybersecurity today can save your business from massive losses tomorrow. Our mission at PSLA is to provide affordable, scalable security solutions tailored to small businesses. We’re here to help you build a strong cyber defense, one step at a time.
