Why Chicago SMBs Can’t Rely on Luck for Cybersecurity in 2025

If “we’re too small to be targeted” is your plan, you don’t have a plan. Attackers automate scans for weak passwords, unpatched apps, and exposed email accounts, size doesn’t matter. In Chicago, downtime and reputational damage can hit harder than the fine itself.

Luck is not a strategy...

Three steps to move beyond luck

1. MFA Everywhere – Email, file sharing, remote access. No exceptions.

2. Patch on a Schedule – Monthly baseline; critical updates within 72 hours.

3. Backups You’ve Tested – Offline copies + quarterly restore drills.
   

Bigger picture

Cybersecurity isn’t a purchase; it’s a process. Small, consistent habits beat big, one‑time projects.

Your takeaway

Block 60 minutes this week: turn on MFA, update all endpoints, and run a test restore. That time spent could save you a week of downtime. Why partner with an MSP check out this eBook -> Click here to download
