You don’t need enterprise‑level systems to improve your cybersecurity. Here are five simple steps every SME can take:
1. Turn on MFA everywhere It’s the single most effective way to prevent account compromise.
2. Keep devices updated Most cyber incidents exploit old software.
3. Test your backups A backup that hasn’t been tested isn’t a backup, it’s a hope.
4. Review who has admin access Many SMEs have more administrators than they realise.
5. Create a simple incident response plan Knowing what to do in the first hour of an incident makes all the difference.
Small improvements can dramatically reduce risk and downtime.
