Imagine a small accounting firm that believes its data is safe. They pay for basic IT services, keep costs low, and assume that’s enough to protect client records and financial data.
What they don’t know is that a cybercriminal has quietly slipped into their network. For months, the intruder watches and waits — learning the system, identifying the busiest time of year, and preparing for maximum impact.
The attack comes at the worst possible moment: systems locked, files inaccessible, and a ransom demand in the hundreds of thousands. With no reliable backups, recovery becomes costly, time-consuming, and in some cases, impossible.
Sadly, this isn’t far-fetched. As Cybersecurity Backbone: What Every Business Owner Needs to Know explains, small and medium-sized businesses are prime targets for exactly this kind of attack — and “good enough” IT is rarely enough to stop it.
The Real Cost Of “Good Enough” IT
Many business owners rely on minimal security measures or a generalist IT provider. But these setups often lack:
- Regular patching and updates
- Advanced threat detection
- Tested, offsite backups
- Strong access controls
Cybercriminals don’t need to break down the front door — they just need a single overlooked gap.
You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know
Most breaches happen quietly, with attackers spending weeks or months inside the network before striking. By the time you realize something’s wrong, the damage is already done.
In Cybersecurity Backbone: What Every Business Owner Needs to Know, you’ll learn how to:
- Spot vulnerabilities before hackers exploit them
- Evaluate your current IT protections honestly
- Avoid the common oversights that lead to lost data, lawsuits, and even closure
