Three simple steps to protecting your small business
Continued news reports of large-scale data breaches and the steady increase of cyber fraud like spam calls, identity fraud and unauthorized account access should be enough to scare anyone. So-called nation-state hackers attempting to infiltrate government entities and universities, massive data breaches, and new Ransomware threats are constantly in the headlines. So why doesn’t this encourage more small business owners to take cybersecurity more seriously?
Many small businesses are currently going digital and moving data, applications and services to the cloud. In fact, the most innovative small businesses have embraced digital transformation as an integral part of their growth plans. This evolution makes their business more vulnerable to a lurking hacker. And perhaps too trustingly, many small business owners think that because of their size, they are not a target. Hackers don’t discriminate. Malware doesn’t discriminate. Everyone is a target, and in fact, hackers see the data that small businesses have as a gateway to attacking larger businesses. And Malware essentially looks for open doors (i.e. unpatched machines) to infect.
As we look to the start of a new year, there is no better time to assess your business’s cybersecurity posture – or in some cases start from scratch – to ensure you are prepared and can respond to cyberattacks. Here are a few affordable and simple recommendations that can improve your cybersecurity posture and help protect your business from the inevitability of a cyberattack in 2019:
Stay Aware: The simplest thing you can do is to stay current on trends and threats affecting small businesses. We’ve seen unprecedented levels of attacks on small business in 2018, especially with Ransomware (where your device is essentially taken hostage for a fee). It’s essential to understand the types of attacks that could put your business at risk as well as the current cybersecurity landscape. Visit AT&T Cyber Aware for the latest news, information to report fraud associated with your AT&T Business account.
Hire a consultant: A consultant can take a holistic look at your business, identify the gaps and help you understand how to improve your cybersecurity posture. While some see consultants as an added expense, their role is essential for small businesses that don’t have an IT or cybersecurity expert on staff. A consultant can help you develop and implement a plan for monitoring for threats, incident response and remediation that’s within your budget.
Buy Cyber Insurance: Cybersecurity insurance isn’t new. Large enterprises have had a cybersecurity insurance policy in place for decades now. However, 2019 is going to be the first year that it’s accessible and affordable to businesses of all sizes. For AT&T Business customers, this is made possible through policies, underwritten by CNA, with Lockton Affinity serving as the insurance broker.
A recent Ponemon Institute Report found that in 2017, cyberattacks cost small and medium-sized businesses an average of $2,235,000. That’s a staggering number that will only continue to increase as hackers become more sophisticated and continue to target the most vulnerable.

2018-11-19 14:00:00 | Is the Internet of Things Threatening Your Company\'s Security? (lien direct) |
The internet of things (IoT) is changing nearly every industry. Smart devices that can collect and process data, and even make decisions based on that data, though artificial intelligence promises to disrupt business as we know it for years to come.
However, there are some legitimate concerns. The more connected devices your company has, the more potential vulnerabilities are out there. As business owners we want to be able to access the data we collect through the IoT, but we also need to be able to protect that data, and we bear the responsibility for keeping that data secure.
This, like many areas of business, is a time for brutal honesty. If you have vulnerabilities, you need to fix them. You don’t want to be part of the headlines about companies who acted too late or not at all. Your security must adapt to the IoT, and it needs to do so now.
Is the internet of things threatening your company’s security? There are a few questions you will need to ask yourself and your IT department to truly determine the answer:
How do I know?
Most experts agree that the weakness in any network is the devices that make up the IoT. For example, if you have smart light bulbs in your home, they are likely controlled by a hub which not only provides you with more flexibility in controlling them, but also provides security so they do not become a weak point in your network.
This is why an intrusion detection system (IDS) is so important. Technologies from companies like AlienVault allow you to monitor for threats and even give you advice on how to prevent harm from them. Remember there is more than one area of vulnerability in any system. Cloud-based IDS, network IDS, and host-based IDS, along with file integrity management systems, are all essential parts of your strategy.
These alerts tell you there is an attack and can even reveal threats to you, which allows you to put remediation and prevention strategies in place. But what are the threats you should be aware of?
What are the threats?
Why don’t we have houses that are completely smart and controlled by IoT devices? What about our cars? Part of the reason is that a hacker with the right tools could potentially take over control of a house or even a connected car from the owner or driver. For example, the Bangladesh National Bank lost $81 million due to an IoT-based attack.
What are these types of attacks? There are actually several, and they mirror other types of cyberattacks.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS): Chrysler/Jeep was vulnerable to this type of attack. Essentially, control of devices or a system is taken by a hacker. Sometimes this comes with ransomware, where the owner or user has to pay to get that control back.
Malware: IoT devices can be used by an attacker to spread malware, sometimes to more than one devic |
