Cybersecurity isn’t just a concern for big corporations anymore.
In 2025, small and medium businesses (SMBs) are among the top targets for cybercriminals—precisely because they often lack dedicated IT security teams.
At Scope IT Solution, we help businesses across Mumbai stay safe from evolving threats. Here’s a simplified but effective checklist every SMB should follow to avoid costly data breaches, ransomware, or network outages.
🔍 What These Tips Mean & Why They Matter
- Keep Software Up to Date
Outdated apps and systems are open doors for hackers. Always install the latest OS, browser, antivirus, and router firmware updates.
- Use Antivirus & Anti-Malware Tools
Free antivirus might not be enough anymore. Use a business-grade solution with real-time protection and active threat scanning.
💡 Scope IT offers endpoint protection powered by Quick Heal, Net Protector, and more.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Adding an extra layer of authentication (like a mobile code) prevents attackers from accessing accounts even if they crack a password.
- Enforce Strong Passwords
Use passwords with a mix of characters, symbols, and at least 12 characters. Avoid using birthdays, pet names, or ‘admin123’.
- Educate Employees on Security
Many breaches start with a phishing email or accidental click. Run short training sessions or awareness videos monthly.
- Secure Endpoint Devices
Laptops, mobiles, every device is a potential target. Encrypt data, enable screen locks, and disable USB ports if needed.
- Segment the Network
Separate critical devices (like CCTV, NAS,Servers) from general browsing or guest Wi-Fi. Use VLANs or dedicated routers/firewalls.
- Implement Regular Backup & Recovery
Backup data to a secure NAS or cloud daily. Test your recovery plan monthly. If ransomware strikes—you’ll be ready.
🔐 We provide NAS-based backup solutions (QNAP, Synology) with auto-sync.
- Use a Firewall
A good firewall blocks unauthorized access and detects intrusion attempts. Use hardware firewalls (like Sophos XGS) for business-grade protection.
- Secure Guest Wi-Fi
Don’t let guests access your main network. Create a separate guest SSID with limited speed and no access to local devices.
🚨 Final Word: Prevention is Always Cheaper Than Recovery
Many small businesses only invest in cybersecurity after something goes wrong—by then, the cost can include lost data, trust, and business downtime.
