As a small business owner, you might not realize just how at risk your company is to data thieves, hackers, and other Internet threats.

While data breaches at large corporations steal most of the headlines, it is local small businesses that predominantly receive the brunt of cyberattacks.

Why? Because small businesses tend to have weaker network defenses in place, which means it’s easier for cybercriminals to sneak past and siphon off all the important financial data saved.

Plus, a small business might never realize it was actually attacked, while larger corporations will identify these problems and generally make the necessary corrections quickly. To help protect yourself, your business, and your customers, you need to follow these data privacy best practices.
