In today’s digital world, cyber attacks are no longer a distant threat — they’re a daily reality for businesses of all sizes. From small startups to established companies, no one is immune. The good news? With the right protection in place, most attacks can be prevented before they ever cause damage.

What Exactly Is a Cyber Attack?

A cyber attack happens when someone tries to steal, expose, or destroy your company’s data or systems. These attacks can come in many forms — phishing emails, ransomware, data breaches, or even fake login pages designed to steal passwords.

And while large corporations often make the headlines, small and midsized businesses are actually the most common targets because they often have weaker security systems.

Why Businesses Are Targeted

Cybercriminals go after businesses for simple reasons — data and money. Your customer information, payment systems, and access to networks can all be valuable assets to the wrong people.

But not all attacks are about stealing money. Sometimes hackers aim to disrupt operations or gain access to your contacts for further scams.

Common Warning Signs of a Cyber Attack

• Be alert for these red flags:
• Strange pop-ups or messages on company devices
• Passwords suddenly not working
• Files or data disappearing or becoming unreadable
• Unexpected login attempts from unknown locations
• Suspicious emails that look “almost” legitimate
• If something feels off, it probably is. Quick action can make all the difference.

How to Protect Your Business

• Here are a few simple but effective ways to reduce your risk:
• Use strong, unique passwords — and change them regularly
• Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible
• Keep software updated to patch known vulnerabilities
• Back up your data to secure, offsite storage
• Train your team to recognize phishing and online scams
• Most cyber attacks succeed not because systems are weak, but because users are unprepared.
