What are some common threats?

Barely a day goes by that news headlines aren’t reporting the breach of an organization’s network or the loss of a laptop. To make matters worse, the tools that nefarious actors—including individual hackers and organized criminals—use to steal company, employee, and customer data, money, or intellectual property from businesses are increasing in scope and sophistication. Some businesses are good at updating their approaches to fit a changing security landscape, but criminals are good at adapting as well. For businesses trying to avoid becoming victims, an obvious question arises about what kinds of threats are most commonly faced.

What are the solutions?

Every desktop computer, laptop, or handheld digital device can be vulnerable to an attack. The consequences of such an attack can range from a simple inconvenience to financial catastrophe. The U.S. Chamber suggests that owners, managers, and employees take a number of actions described in this guide to improve the cybersecurity of their companies. Of the many points that a guide could cover, we’ve selected about a dozen that many experts tend to emphasize. These tips have been packaged under four broad categories: setting up a secure system, protecting business data, training your workforce, and being prepared to respond to an incident.
