Last time I wrote about creating a plan for online safety at home. Now we need to think about the workplace.
Small businesses are at risk just as much as the large corporations we hear about in the news every day.
Recently, the Business Week article The Cost of Cyber Crime estimated the cost of cyber crime and cyber defense. The cyber defense numbers reference the money it costs for business to recover from an attack. Large corporations may have the insurance or reserves to pay those costs, but many small businesses are just making payroll. A cyber attack on a small business could end the business.
At an event in my community a couple years ago, we had a speaker address the audience about her experience as a small-business owner. Hackers from a foreign country created a false website that looked just like her company website and redirected all her customers to that fake site for a period of two months before she realized what was happening.
