The Small Business Administration came from Washington DC to discuss the impact cybersecurity … or shortages … could have on small businesses.
“Small businesses are the target of cyber killers,” said Isabella Guzman, administrator of the US Small Business Administration. We want to make sure we can protect them and raise their level of network health. “
They were briefed by the Georgia Cyber Center for the latest information on what threats could put companies at risk.
“We wanted to strengthen our knowledge of cybernetics and cyberspace for our small businesses,” she said.
They say that 88% of small businesses surveyed feel their businesses are vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Meanwhile, experts at IntelliSystems say the pandemic has exposed even more vulnerabilities, as more companies shift to working remotely.
“It’s the part that people have put together impromptu so they can really work without worrying about the security implications of that,” Hurley said.
