Small businesses are more dependent on the Internet than ever before, but many don’t have a formal cybersecurity plan.
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has a free online resource designed specifically for small business, to help you create a customized cybersecurity plan.
The Small Business Cyber Planner walks you through a series of questions to determine what cybersecurity strategies should be included in the planning guide, and then generates a customized PDF that will serve as a cybersecurity strategy template.
The agency also offers a one-page Cybersecurity Tip Sheet, with details about cyber insurance; how to avoid spyware; what immediate steps to take in case of infection; how to create a mobile device action plan; as well as payment and credit card security.
