Good evening, Reno! I’m Tiffany Jones, reporting live for KRNO News. Today we’re talking to local IT specialist Scott Morris about the ever-growing threat of cyberattacks and what businesses can do to protect themselves. Scott, thanks so much for joining us.
“Tiffany, it’s a pleasure to be here,” said Scott. “Cybersecurity is crucial in today’s digital world, especially for small businesses who might not have the same resources as larger corporations.”
Cyber Security
Scott emphasized that cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and can target anyone, regardless of their size. “Ordinarily, a business owner might think they aren’t a valuable target,” Scott explained. “But hackers often use automated tools to scan for vulnerabilities, and any unsecured system can be compromised.”
He recommends a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity, including strong passwords, up-to-date software, firewalls, antivirus protection, and regular employee training on identifying phishing scams.
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
“Imagine this,” Scott said, leaning forward. “Your business relies heavily on customer data stored digitally. A ransomware attack hits, encrypting all your files. Without a reliable backup and disaster recovery solution, you could lose everything – precious customer information, years of financial records, even the ability to operate.”
Consequently, Scott stresses the importance of having a robust backup system that regularly saves data to a secure offsite location. This allows businesses to quickly restore their systems in case of a cyberattack or other disaster.
Data Security
Moreover, Scott highlighted the significance of strong data security practices. “Think about it,” he said. “Your customer’s trust is built on knowing their information is safe. A data breach can not only lead to financial losses but also damage your reputation and erode customer loyalty.”
- Implement encryption for sensitive data.
- Use multi-factor authentication for access control.
- Regularly audit access permissions.
“According to a recent study by IBM, the average cost of a data breach in 2022 was $4.35 million,” Scott pointed out. “That’s a hefty price tag that many small businesses simply can’t afford.”
