Cybersecurity Awareness: Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
summary
Defines SMEs as resource‑limited and claims six practical controls that small businesses can implement: access control by department, MFA for employees and clients, and regular patch management and software updates. Recommends IDS/IPS and firewalls, offsite backups (cloud) with tested disaster recovery, quarterly staff training on phishing, and hiring specialist firms or consultants when in‑house capability is lacking. Concrete example: hotel role‑based access and WhatsApp‑style nightly backups.
