What Every Small Business Owner Needs to Know This Fall
It’s not just the big corporations getting hit with cyberattacks anymore.
Here in the DFW area, small businesses—from dental practices to boutique law firms—are becoming prime targets. Why? Because hackers know you’ve got valuable data and (they hope) fewer defenses.
And fall? It’s open season. Between holiday distractions, budget deadlines, and flu season chaos, Q4 cybersecurity threats increase for everyone—especially businesses without a dedicated IT team.
But here’s the truth: cybersecurity for small businesses doesn’t have to be scary, expensive, or full of jargon. It just has to be smart.
Start with the basics:
- Use a password manager. No more sticky notes on monitors.
- Train your employees on phishing scams. One wrong click can open the floodgates.
- Back up your data regularly—and test those backups.
Think of it like locking up your shop at night. You wouldn’t leave the front door wide open—why leave your business network unsecured?
We recently helped a local real estate office recover from a ransomware attack. Their “tech-savvy nephew” had set up their system years ago, and no one had touched it since. One fake email later, their files were frozen—until we stepped in with managed backups and endpoint protection. Now? They sleep easier.
If the thought of all this makes your stomach turn, take heart. You don’t need to become an expert in IT security overnight. You just need a local managed IT services provider who sees the storm before it hits—and puts the shutters up early.
Because peace of mind isn’t just for the big guys. It’s for you, too.
