The document discusses an LA-based cybersecurity company called InSOC and resources they have released to help small businesses, MSPs, and MSSPs implement effective cybersecurity practices in 2021. InSOC has seen an increase in small businesses being targeted by hackers and notes that 60% of companies go out of business within months of a cyber attack. They have released a cybersecurity assessment checklist to help prevent attacks and recommend basic steps like using the quick assessment as a way to start security discussions with clients.
2. Investing in an effective cybersecurity strategy is crucial in 2021,
since the majority of small businesses attacked by hackers close
quickly after the data breach.
InSOC, a Los Angeles company
specializing in high-quality
cybersecurity solutions, announced a
series of new resources on essential
cybersecurity practices for small
businesses, MSPs and MSSPs.
3. The company aims to empower you to develop proactive strategies
to reduce the risk of a cyber attack and its potentially catastrophic
consequences.
InSOC has identified an increase in the number
of small businesses being targeted by hackers -
and with 60% of companies going out of
business within months after a cyber attack, the
company is aware of the urgent need for effective
preventative policies.
4. The report explains that small businesses are particularly
vulnerable to cyber attacks, since they often don't implement
any substantial protection strategies.
Nearly half of all small businesses
are attacked by hackers, and once
the system is vulnerable it can often
provide a gateway for hackers to
threat larger businesses.
5. InSOC has released a cybersecurity assessment checklist to help
MSPs and MSSPs improve their communication with their clients and
prevent cyber attacks.
You'll find essential aspects such as the
existence of an alert system designed to
detect login attempts from unauthorized
areas, and the possibility of recovering
lost data in the event of an attack.
6. "Cybersecurity incidents are on the rise and their small
businesses are more susceptible than ever," Jeff says.
"We see this all the time. They are not
prepared. So 49 percent of successfully
distributed malware is attacking small
businesses and only 14 percent of those
businesses are prepared to respond to
that threat.”
7. The assessment checklist aims to encourage you to invest in
sustainable cybersecurity strategies, thus preventing serious
damage and data loss.
“We’re recommending some basic steps, starting
with this quick and easy cybersecurity assessmentt,
as a way to start the security discussion with your
clients and show them how you can work with them to
ensure they preserve the integrity and trust of their
business,” Jeff added.
