Your small business is doing OK. You hope this year's Christmas season will be a blockbuster.
Jim Bowers, security architect at TBI, believes even the smallest of companies should have a cybersecurity incident-response plan, designed to help those responding to a cybersecurity event in a meaningful way.
Bowers understands that small business owners might be leery of independently creating a document and process that could make or break their company.
Bowers said: "The attacker wants to propagate across the company's infrastructure, so digital traffic needs to be rerouted to prevent the attack from spreading."
Bowers said, "Make it a high priority to determine the attacker's entry point and work to close that gap and other potential entry points."
