Small businesses aren't too small to get hacked. They're actually the preferred target because they’re easier to breach, less likely to detect it fast.

Here's how it plays out: First, a convincing email lands in your inbox. It looks like Microsoft, your bank, or a vendor you trust. One employee clicks. By the time you notice something's wrong, attackers may have been inside your systems for months.

The damage isn't just stolen files. It's downtime, lost revenue, client trust you can't get back, and recovery costs that dwarf what prevention would have cost. For businesses in healthcare, legal, or accounting, add compliance headaches on top of that.

Antivirus software alone won't save you. Modern phishing bypasses software by targeting people, not programs. That's why Big Blue Z runs manual security checks every 30 days on top of automated monitoring because software gets fooled.

The basics that actually move the needle: multi-factor authentication, clean offsite backups, employee training that sticks, managed software updates, and proactive monitoring.
