Many small businesses are easy targets for cyber criminals as they do not have adequate Data Security which makes them highly vulnerable.
许多小型企业没有足够的数据安全性,因此很容易成为网络犯罪分子的攻击目标,这使其非常脆弱。
Usually it is seen that big enterprises are targeted by attackers who often steal their private data. However, there are also lots of small businesses which are also targeted by attackers equally if not more than the large corporations. As the small business owners are not aware of their state of security and often become sitting ducks for attackers as they find very low level of security measures deployed by small business owners.
通常可以看到,大型企业通常是攻击者的攻击目标,他们经常窃取其私人数据。 但是,也有很多小型企业,即使不超过大型企业,也同样受到攻击者的攻击。 由于小企业主不了解自己的安全状态,并且经常发现攻击者发现小企业主部署的安全措施水平很低,因此常常成为攻击者的坐骑。
According to a recent research, it was revealed that majority of the small owner more than two thirds of those surveyed assume they are safe and do not have anything to worry about. And more than half of those feel they have adequate security measures in place. Whereas, according another research it was found that more than 70% of attacks which result in data loss are targeted at smaller business only. And the main reason behind is the false assumption of security by small business owners.
根据最近的一项研究显示,大多数小业主中有超过三分之二的人认为他们是安全的,没有什么可担心的。 超过一半的人认为他们已经采取了适当的安全措施。 而根据另一项研究发现,导致数据丢失的攻击中有70%以上仅针对小型企业。 背后的主要原因是小企业主对安全性的错误假设。
Another study by the National Cyber Security Alliance found that over 20% of small business fall victim to cyber attacks and more than half of those close within 6-12 months since the attacks. These are shocking numbers as even small amount of data loss can be fatal for small business owner which do not have adequate security measures implemented.
国家网络安全联盟的另一项研究发现,超过20%的小型企业是网络攻击的受害者,而超过一半的小型企业在攻击发生后的6至12个月内关闭。 这些数字令人震惊,因为即使是少量数据丢失,对于没有实施足够安全措施的小企业主来说也是致命的。
Reasons of Failure
失败原因
The main reason that many small businesses shut-down or are not able to get back to their previous position is due to lack of resources. When a business faces an attack it leads to downtime at times and there may be permanent data loss which makes it impossible to get back at times. And on many occasion the businesses have to compensate their clients for the inconvenience cause due to the security breach which can ring a death knell for them.
许多小型企业关闭或无法回到以前的位置的主要原因是由于缺乏资源。 当企业面临攻击时,它有时会导致停机,并且可能会永久丢失数据,这使它有时无法恢复。 而且在很多情况下,由于安全漏洞可能给客户造成丧钟,企业不得不赔偿客户的不便。
Lastly, a business that has been attacked is often considered uncompetitive and one which cannot be trusted which takes customers away from them leading to loss of business.
最后,被攻击的企业通常被认为是不具有竞争力的企业,而不能被信任的企业将客户带离他们,从而导致企业亏损。
Finding Vulnerabilities
查找漏洞
There are many things which can cause a business to fall victim to an attack. We look at some to the top ones:
有很多事情可能导致企业成为攻击的受害者。 我们来看一些顶级的:
Security services
安全服务
Many businesses often leave the onus of protecting their data with security providers. However, many do not take the trouble of checking the reliability of the service provider and whether they would be good enough for protecting them or not.
许多企业经常将责任留给安全提供商来保护其数据。 但是,许多人不会费心检查服务提供商的可靠性以及它们是否足以保护服务提供商。
Whether it is your cloud service provider or you have a remote backup solution make sure that the service provider is secure and has taken the necessary measures to protect client data.
无论是您的云服务提供商还是拥有远程备份解决方案,请确保该服务提供商是安全的,并已采取必要的措施来保护客户端数据。
Backups
后备
Despite being aware about the importance of data and how easily it can be lost there are many SMB’s which do not take this seriously and rarely backup their data. Most of the businesses cite lack of budget for not having a backup solution. What these businesses do not understand it that losing your data would cost you more money than you would spend on a backup solution. If not an online backup then at least a local backup is something that each business must invest in.
尽管了解数据的重要性以及丢失数据的难易程度,但是许多SMB对此并不重视,很少备份其数据。 大多数企业都因为没有备份解决方案而缺乏预算。 这些企业不了解的是,丢失数据所花的钱比花在备份解决方案上的钱还要多。 如果不是在线备份,那么至少每个企业都必须投资本地备份。
Given the findings about state of data security with respect to small businesses and its consequences it is hard to imagine any business owner taking the risk. It is should be a priority of every business to incorporate data security and regular backups as a part of their business functions and also make a provision for it in the yearly budget.
鉴于有关小型企业的数据安全状态及其后果的调查结果,很难想象会有任何企业主冒险。 将数据安全性和定期备份作为其业务功能的一部分,并在年度预算中对此进行准备,这是每个企业的优先事项。
After all, it is always better to be safe than sorry and you cannot be so lenient when it comes to business.
毕竟,安全永远比后悔好,在做生意时也不能如此宽容。
