These resources have been developed to help small businesses improve their cybersecurity.
Keeping your small business secure
For a small business, even a minor cybersecurity incident can have significant financial impact on small businesses each year.
ASD's ACSC has published a range of resources to help small businesses protect themselves against common cyberthreats. Use our Small business cyber security guide and Small business cyber security checklist.
There are many simple and inexpensive measures businesses can use to improve their cybersecurity. As a starting point, we recommend the following three:
- turn on multi-factor authentication
- update your software
- back up your information.
If you have questions about ASD's ACSC’s advice or cybersecurity more broadly, we recommend you speak to a cybersecurity professional or a trusted advisor.
