As a part of National Cybersecurity Month, last week the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched a campaign to help educate and assist small businesses with cybersecurity.  In conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Small Business Administration (SBA), the FTC has published a collection of materials for small businesses about cybersecurity. These materials include information about the following:

  • Cybersecurity Basics;
  • Understanding the NIST Cybersecurity Framework;
  • Physical Security;
  • Ransomware;
  • Phishing;
  • Business Email Imposters;
  • Tech Support Scams;
  • Vendor Security;
  • Cyber Insurance;
  • Email Authentication;
  • Hiring a Web Host; and
  • Secure Remote Access.

Additional information about the cybersecurity campaign and access to the materials can be found here.
