Cybersecurity is an urgent concern for small and medium-sized businesses. Cyber incidents impacting SMBs make headlines every day. SMBs are wisely deploying technologies to collect data and grow their businesses, but cyber risks are surging along with these integrations. SMB-related cyber incidents often involve customer records, supplier and vendor information, and payment card data, and the impacts of a serious breach on an SMB can be devastating. As well, SMBs are often suppliers in larger supply chains, and breaches can imperil the SMBs’ own customers and suppliers.
Simply Secure offers the highest-quality resources and training that SMBs need to drive their organizations’ cybersecurity. These resources and training are designed to help SMBs become more cybersecure and turn their cybersecurity into a competitive advantage and positive differentiator.
With Simply Secure, SMB owners and employees can grow a culture of cybersecurity within their organizations and better understand the overall impact of cyber threats on every level of their businesses. SMBs can adopt a cybersecurity framework that suits their business and industry and implements the five primary elements of a successful cybersecurity program: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
