Seven practical security controls that stop the most common business tech disasters before they start.
Security does not have to start with a giant software purchase. For most small businesses, the first win is putting simple guardrails around the systems you already use.
Turn on multi-factor authentication for email, banking, payroll, social media, and website admin. If one password gets stolen, MFA is the second lock on the door.
Use a password manager, patch weekly, separate guest WiFi from business devices, and test your backups before an emergency. Those four habits prevent a surprising amount of damage.
