Small businesses can reduce common cyber risks by reviewing a few essential controls. Use unique passwords stored in a reputable password manager, enable multi-factor authentication for email and financial accounts, keep website plugins and operating systems updated, and maintain offline or separately protected backups. Train staff to verify unexpected payment requests and links through a second channel. Website owners should also remove unused administrator accounts and restrict access by role. These steps cannot eliminate every threat, but they make account takeover, data loss and fraudulent payment requests harder to carry out.
