Cybersecurity for SMEs: getting the basics right

You do not need to be an IT expert to secure your business. These basic steps prevent most problems.

Cyberattacks do not only hit large companies. SMEs in particular are a target, because their security is often not in order. The good news: the basics already prevent a lot.

The most important basic steps

  • Strong, unique passwords and a password manager
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible
  • Keeping software and systems up to date
  • Regular backups that you also test
  • Awareness in your team (spotting phishing)

Why AI makes it more urgent

Attacks get smarter through AI, such as more convincing phishing emails. Your security must keep up. We work according to security by design and ISO 27001 principles and store data within the EU.
