Ransomware attacks and phishing scams are no longer just problems for big companies. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks now target small businesses — many of which lack proper protection.
At Cytek, we help businesses understand the basics of cybersecurity and build practical defenses that don’t require a big IT budget.
💀 Understanding the Threats
Ransomware is malware that encrypts your files and demands a payment to unlock them. These attacks often come through phishing emails or infected downloads.
Phishing scams trick employees into giving up passwords, clicking bad links, or wiring money to fake vendors.
🔒 Top 4 Ways to Protect Your Business
Install Next-Gen Antivirus (NGAV) or EDR
Traditional antivirus isn’t enough. NGAV and EDR tools watch for suspicious behavior and block attacks in real-time.Enable MFA Everywhere
Even if a password is stolen, MFA (multi-factor authentication) prevents hackers from logging in without the second code or approval prompt.Train Your Employees
A 10-minute phishing simulation each month can reduce risk dramatically. Don’t assume your team knows what to look for — teach them.Use VPNs and Firewalls
VPNs encrypt traffic, and firewalls block known threats. Together, they form your first line of defense — especially for remote workers or sites.
