The team at Ooma reports that most small businesses are overspending on cybersecurity measures, yet remain unprotected. Their guide lays out the facts cleanly.
What small businesses need:
• Multi-factor authentication (the most important measure)
• Automatic software updates
• Password manager
• Tested backups
• Phishing training
What small businesses are oversold:
• In-house security operations centers
• Custom SIEM platforms
• Biometric logins
• Overlapping tools that are unmonitored
• Cyber insurance instead of basic security
The team notes that those handling health, legal, and financial data may need more extensive coverage, but everyone else can scale back and focus on the basics.
