Bonus: Cybersecurity For Small
Businesses and Link References
The Internet allows businesses of all sizes
and from any location to reach new and larger markets and provides
opportunities to work more efficiently by using computer-based
tools. Whether a company is thinking of adopting cloud computing or
just using email and maintaining a website, cybersecurity should be
a part of the plan.
Theft of digital
information has become the most commonly reported fraud, surpassing
physical theft. Every business that uses the Internet is
responsible for creating a culture of security that will enhance
business and consumer confidence. In October 2012, the FCC
re-launched the Small Biz
Cyber Planner 2.0 , an online resource
to help small businesses create customized cybersecurity
plans.
The FCC also
released an updated one-page Cybersecurity Tip Sheet .
The quick resource features new tips on creating a mobile device
action plan and on payment and credit card security.
