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.

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
