I’m too small to be hacked, right? Wrong.

My business is too small to be hacked, right? Wrong!
It seems that, once a month, there is a report about XYZ Company announcing that they had a security breach. The worst part, it happened 3+ months ago and they just figured it out. As a small business owner, you may be saying, “This can’t happen to me! I am too small to be hacked!“ You may think that hackers are after larger companies with deeper pockets. As a managed service provider, The Walker Group hears this all too often and usually after the attack has already happened. Now, the business owner is left with lots of difficult and expensive choices to make.

Multi-Layered Security Posture

At The Walker Group, we help small and large companies build and execute their IT security plans. They range in size and scope but they have the same core elements. We promote the Multi-Layered Security Posture. This model leverages different types of resources and combines them into a holistic approach. In the end, you have wider and stronger defense that will be more effective at dealing with the ever-changing security landscape.

In today's digital world, cyberattacks are no longer a "what if" —they're a "when." No matter the size of your business or industry, cyberattacks pose a real and growing risk. From data breaches and ransomware attacks to phishing scams and system outages, the cost of a cyber incident can be devastating. This is where cybersecurity insurance becomes critical. A well-structured policy can mean the difference between a swift recovery and financial ruin. However, many companies make the mistake of only reviewing their policy after an attack happens—when it’s already too late. Businesses must proactively review and revise their coverage before an incident occurs to stay ahead of rising threats, evolving regulations, and increasing costs.
