Cybersecurity doesn’t need a big budget, but it does need a smart plan.
Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals. Why? Because they’re seen as easier to breach, often without the layered defences of larger enterprises. But size shouldn’t determine your security and neither should budget.
At Mayfield, we believe strong cybersecurity is achievable for every business, regardless of scale. It’s about making the right moves with the resources you have.
Affordable and Effective Strategies for SMBs
1. Understand Your Risks
Start by pinpointing your most important data and where your security gaps might be. Knowing what’s at risk helps you focus your efforts where they matter most.
2. Improve Password Security
Use multi-factor authentication, encourage regular password updates, and make sure your team knows how to create strong, unique passwords. Small changes here create big protection.
3. Empower Your Team with Training
Your employees are the first line of defence. Regular training helps them recognize phishing attempts, suspicious links, and other tricks hackers use to get inside.
4. Keep Systems and Software Current
Hackers exploit outdated software. Staying on top of updates and patches closes vulnerabilities before they become a problem.
5. Leverage Managed Security Services
If building a full security team isn’t an option, outsourcing to experts can provide round-the-clock monitoring and response, scaling your protection without breaking your budget.
6. Choose Secure Cloud Solutions
Many cloud providers offer built-in security features like encryption and access controls. Using these tools effectively means better protection with less hassle.
