It’s easy to think cyber threats only target big corporations. But here’s the tough truth: 43% of all cybercrimes are now aimed at small businesses. Why? Sadly, smaller businesses often present more accessible targets.
We observe this frequently with local businesses right here in Brisbane. Cyber criminals aren’t always going after the biggest scores, they’re simply looking for the quickest way to exploit vulnerabilities.
Understanding this reality is the first step in protection. It involves keeping a comprehensive list of all your devices and systems and ensuring they are configured for automatic updates.
This includes:
- Computers (Desktops, Laptops)
- Mobiles and Tablets
- Wearables (like smartwatches)
- Payment Devices (POS systems)
- Your Website (CMS, themes, plugins)
- Browser Plug-ins (Extensions)
- Internet-enabled devices (Smart TVs, Wi-Fi routers, IoT devices)
At WIT Technologies, we focus on helping local businesses implement security measures to safeguard their critical information. We build necessary defences within your systems to protect your essential business data.
Knowing the risks allows you to be better prepared.
