Hello Reno, and welcome back to “Tech Talk Tuesdays.” I’m your host, Jessica Riley, reporting live from our downtown studio. Today we’re joined by Scott Morris, a renowned IT Specialist here in Reno, Nevada, with extensive experience helping small businesses navigate the complex world of cybersecurity.
Scott, thanks for being here today. Let’s talk about adaptable small business cybersecurity. What does that even mean?
Cyber Security
“Jessica, it’s a pleasure to be here. Adaptable cybersecurity means recognizing that threats are constantly evolving. We can’t just set it and forget it. Small businesses need solutions that can grow and change with them, just like their needs.”
“Think of it this way: A small business starting out might only need basic antivirus protection. But as they grow, add employees, and start handling more sensitive data, their security needs will evolve. They might need firewalls, intrusion detection systems, or even multi-factor authentication.”
Backup And Disaster Recovery Solution
“That’s why a solid backup and disaster recovery solution is crucial for any small business,” Scott continues. “It’s not just about protecting data from cyberattacks; it’s also about mitigating the impact of natural disasters, hardware failures, or even human error.”
He shares a story about helping a local bakery recover after a fire destroyed their building. “They had a comprehensive backup solution in place, so they were able to get back up and running quickly. It saved them from potentially going out of business.”
Data Security
I ask Scott what advice he would give to small businesses just starting out on their cybersecurity journey.
“Start with the basics: strong passwords, multi-factor authentication wherever possible, and regular software updates,” he advises. “And don’t forget employee training! Human error is often the weakest link in any security system.
Moreover, according to a recent study by the Ponemon Institute, 68% of small businesses have experienced a cyberattack in the past year. Consequently, investing in proactive cybersecurity measures is no longer optional; it’s essential for survival.”
