Stop.Think.Connect. Small Business Resources

Small businesses may not consider themselves targets for cyber attacks due to their small size or the perception that they don't have anything worth stealing. However, small businesses have valuable information cyber criminals seek, such as employee and customer records, bank account information and access to the business's finances, and access to larger networks. In some ways, small businesses are at a higher risk of cyber attacks than larger businesses because they often have fewer resources dedicated to cybersecurity. Below, find resources and materials to keep your small business cyber secure.

• Use the Department of Homeland Security's C³ Voluntary Program Small and Midsize Business Toolkit for resources to help your business recognize and address cybersecurity risks.
• Create a custom cybersecurity plan for your small business with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Small Biz Cyber Planner 2.0.
• Get information from the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) on how to secure your business network.
• Learn about compliance resources on collecting sensitive data from consumers and employees from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
• Safeguard your business, employees, and customers from online attacks, data loss, and other threats with resources from the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA).
