Malware has been a problem for decades, one that was exacerbated by the the rise of the internet, file sharing, and digital assets. Whether it’s keyloggers or other types of malware, they’ll make your computer slow and insecure, all without you knowing. And if you’re an employer with remote employees, you’ll want to ensure their computers are secured. Malwarebytes provides a variety of services for small business to keep their employees, data, and systems secured!
58% of small businesses who face a cyberattack go out of business. So what are the risk vectors? There are three key instances when a small business’ data is at risk:
- Anytime you transfer data, especially Personally Identifiable Information, like a client, customer or patient’s name, health records, credit card info, legal documents.
- While your team is working from home. Endpoint protection is becoming standard to address this.
- Passing data between platforms to perform business tasks, like adding customer lists to Facebook ads
All three risk instances are central to running a successful business, and thus must be secured at all times. Those risks have all increased due to remote work. According to Malwarebytes’ Enduring From Home report, since the start of the pandemic, 20 percent of small businesses faced a security breach as a result of a remote worker.
In a recent survey of small business security buyers, Malwarebytes found that 70% rated device security as top priority, and 72% said data privacy is top priority. Additionally, 80% say they will add additional cybersecurity solutions to their stack in 2021. Now you can buy small business cybersecurity solutions online, directly from Malwarebytes, including phone support.
