Your Business is a Target. Full Stop.
Listen to Gemina and diMarco, our AI-employees, breaking down this article in their podcast.
Is Your Business a Target? Cyberattacks & Personal Risk
Forget the headlines about airports in Brussels, Berlin, and Heathrow for a moment. Forget the complex regulations like NIS2 and DORA that make your eyes glaze over.
Let's talk about something simpler: your business being wiped out overnight.
The recent attacks that crippled those airports weren't aimed at the airlines. They were aimed at their weakest link—the smaller, third-party companies they trusted. Companies that probably thought they were too small to be a target.
Sound familiar?
You Are the Hacker's Easiest Way In
Cybercriminals aren't trying to kick down the steel front door of a major corporation anymore. They're looking for the unlocked window at the back, and that window is your business. Your systems, your domain, and your access are a potential stepping stone to a much bigger prize.
If you do business with any company larger than yours, you are now part of their security perimeter.
They don’t care if you’re a small supplier, a logistics partner, or a software vendor. To them, you are a doorway. And they will pry it open.
The Real Cost Isn't a Fine—It's Your Survival
People tune out when they hear about regulations. So let’s talk about the things that actually keep business owners up at night.
- Losing Money: Can you afford to have your operations shut down for a day? A week? Can you afford the massive costs of data recovery and incident response? For most businesses, the answer is a hard no.
- Losing Trust: Your clients trust you with their data and their business. A breach doesn't just break your systems; it breaks that trust, possibly forever. Your reputation is your most valuable asset.
- Losing It All (Personally): Here’s the kicker. New rules mean board members and directors are now personally liable for security failures. This isn’t a corporate problem anymore. It’s your problem. Your personal assets could be on the line.
This Isn't Optional Anymore
Basic cybersecurity isn't a "nice-to-have" project for a slow quarter. It's the cost of doing business in 2025. This is your digital armour, and going without it is professional negligence. We're talking about the absolute, non-negotiable basics:
- DMARC Compliance: To stop your domain from being used against your own clients in phishing attacks.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): The single best defense against stolen passwords.
- Strict Password & Device Policies: Because your biggest weakness is often human error.
- A Real Disaster Recovery Plan: Not just hoping for the best, but having a concrete plan for when the worst happens.
Your business may not be critical on a national scale, but it's critical to you. The threat is real, it's aimed at you, and the consequences are devastating.
Stop waiting for it to become a priority. It already is.
