Cyber security

Cyber security is how you protect your business accounts, devices, and data from scams, hacks, and accidents. Small businesses are common targets, because attackers know they're less likely to have strong defences. The most common attacks aren't clever. They're fake invoices, password guessing, and emails pretending to be your bank or a supplier. A few habits stop most of them. Turn on two-step logins for email, banking, and your store. Use a password manager. Keep devices updated. Check bank details by phone before paying a changed invoice. AI tools add a new question, which is what data they can see. Using AI safely means giving them only the access they need.
