Cybersecurity Isn’t Just for Big Business — It’s for Yours
Written by: Ella Burrows
When people think about cyberattacks, it’s easy to imagine headlines involving big-name corporations with massive IT budgets. But here’s the truth: cybercriminals aren’t just going after the giants, they’re going after businesses like yours. In fact, small and mid-sized businesses are some of the most frequent targets. Why? Because they’re often the most vulnerable.
At Nex-Tech, we live and work in the same communities you do. We know what it takes to run a business here in western Kansas — the heart, grit, and long hours that go into making it work. That’s why we care deeply about helping local businesses not only grow but stay protected. Cybersecurity might seem intimidating or too technical, but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t need to be a tech expert to take smart steps to protect your data, your customers, and your livelihood.
Keep your devices and data secure.
Update your software regularly to patch security holes. Back up your files. Make sure employees use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication. And don’t forget to encrypt devices with sensitive data.
Lock down your Wi-Fi.
Change default router settings and use strong encryption (WPA2 or better) to keep outsiders out.
Make cybersecurity part of your everyday routine.
Train your team. Use unique passwords. And make a simple plan for what to do if something goes wrong — whether that’s recovering data or notifying customers.
