"Small businesses face a unique set of cybersecurity challenges and threats and must be especially proactive with cybersecurity training," said Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security. "At INE Security, we work directly with small business leaders to ensure they are able to assess their team's skills and access the cybersecurity training that will be most effective to their unique needs."
Human error remains one of the leading causes of data breaches. According to the Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, 68% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error. INE Security emphasizes the importance of regular training for all employees. Cybersecurity training for small businesses is critical, and SMBs should invest in training programs to help employees recognize threats such as phishing attacks, ransomware, and other malicious activities.
Weak passwords can be easily compromised, giving attackers access to sensitive systems and data. LastPass reports that 80% of all hacking-related breaches leveraged either stolen and/or weak passwords. INE Security recommends implementing strong password policies that require the use of complex passwords and regular updates.
Small businesses often overlook network security, leaving them vulnerable to attacks. INE Security advises businesses to secure and monitor their networks diligently.
