Cybersecurity
solutions for small
business

Small businesses face many of the same cybersecurity threats as mid-size companies or large enterprises: Ransomware, phishing, employees clicking on malicious links, and more. Malware threats to your employee’s devices can represent a risk to your business in the form of lost productivity, an outside party accessing company data, or the cost of trying to recover from a ransomware attack. 

While small businesses face these same threats, they also have unique needs and particular challenges for their cybersecurity posture. Small business leaders wear a lot of hats, and one of them may be “IT manager” or “security technician.” Do you know how to find and eradicate threats from each of your employees’ computers?

Our cloud management console enables you to easily set up and stay on top of the health of each device, whether your employees are in-office, remote, or hybrid. Whatever your size and setup, Malwarebytes has a security solution that fits your unique needs, letting you focus on business. 

Yes, any of your company’s endpoints could be an entry point for an attack. It is best practice to protect every device including servers, much the same way it is to have locks on all doors to protect from intruder. Every device is vulnerable and can be leveraged to compromise your other devices.

Linux and Windows servers are often critical for business operations and are susceptible to attacks. These data-rich targets provide criminals opportunity for data theft and ransom of sensitive information. Malwarebytes offers security solutions to protect servers as well as endpoints.

Ransomware is a form of malware that locks the user out of their files or their device, then demands an anonymous online payment to restore access. For a small business, ransomware can hit more than just one device; it can spread to other endpoints in your network. As Malwarebytes Labs reported in the 2021 State of Malware Report, ransomware attackers hit new lows during the 2020 pandemic, attacking even hospitals and medical facilities. Throughout 2021, ransomware attacks made headlines month after month. This included attacks on schools, food producers, a major US gas pipeline, and many other organizations. In December 2021, a human resources platform provider stated they had been a victim of ransomware and expected their service to be out for several weeks. What would it cost you to have a weeks-long disruption to your company? To protect your small business, Malwarebytes offers specific ransomware protection for businesses. If you’re not ready to buy yet, you can request a free trial for your business first. 

Having endpoint security is crucial to protecting your business and customers. All Malwarebytes small business solutions have threat protection and if needed, threat eradication. Our EDR solution builds upon endpoint security to also offer attack isolation and ransomware rollback. If your workforce now includes remote workers, see our report Still enduring from home for information on securing a remote or hybrid workforce.

Often times, hackers are not targeting your small business, but instead are casting a wide net that small businesses get caught in. The primary driver for attacks on a small business is often money. How hackers extract money can vary widely, from stealing banking information, to holding sensitive data ransom. 

Security solutions like Endpoint Protection and EDR can be more affordable for your small business than you might think. Having features like next-gen antivirus or ransomware rollback in place before an attack could save your small business from the losses a cyberattack can cause.
