Many small businesses believe cybersecurity is complex or expensive. In reality, most security incidents happen because of basic weaknesses that attackers easily exploit.
The Most Common Security Risks for Small Businesses
Small businesses today commonly face:
- Phishing emails that steal login credentials
- Weak or reused passwords
- Unmanaged laptops and mobile devices
- Outdated systems and missing security updates
- Lack of backups and security monitoring
These issues often go unnoticed until serious damage has already occurred.
Centralized Security & Threat Monitoring
At ITXpert, we use centralized security platforms such as Acronis and Trend Micro Apex One to protect and manage all user devices from a single system.
This allows us to:
- Detect malware, ransomware, and suspicious behavior in real time
- Apply consistent security policies across all users
- Respond quickly when threats are detected
Secure Access with Microsoft 365 & MFA
User accounts are protected using Microsoft 365 security controls and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
All user activities and login attempts are logged, and alerts are automatically raised if abnormal behavior is detected.
This greatly reduces the risk of account compromise caused by phishing or stolen passwords.
Strict Control Over USB & Removable Storage
USB flash drives and external storage are a common source of data leaks and malware.
To prevent this:
- USB usage is blocked by default
- Access is only granted upon user request
- All USB actions are fully logged and recorded
- Activities can be easily tracked and monitored
This ensures accountability while still allowing flexibility when business needs require it.
