It's not personal. It's just business. How often have we heard that? But, it's the mantra small business owners need to keep in mind when you're thinking about not taking your cybersecurity strategy seriously because you think "It won't happen to me."

60% of small businesses that are hacked or suffer a ransomware attack will be out of business in 6 months. Your source of income, your legacy, the reason you get up in the morning is gone.

Cybersecurity is the thing that everybody’s talking about but nobody really knows what you need to do. On this week’s Centricity's Best Kept Secret show, Victor Calabrese of deskside talks with CEO, Jay Kingley and explains why more small businesses are targeted for ransomware than large, well-known businesses that get all the headlines. 

Learn how hacker schools are pumping out the black hats by the thousands and why it makes sense for them to target small businesses first.

Victor shares 6 practical things that any sized business should do to get you cyber secure. It reminds me of the advice they give you on how to keep warm on bitterly cold days. Hint - it has something to do with layering.
