Digital India and the Rising Cyber Threat Landscape

Why Small Businesses Are Prime Targets
Small businesses hold valuable data, move real money and connect to larger customers, often with fewer people to look after security. Understanding why attackers find them attractive helps an owner choose a few practical controls that matter most.

The Real Cost of Cyber Attacks
A cyber incident can hurt a business even when no money is stolen. Downtime, recovery work, lost customer trust and contractual or regulatory questions all add up, so it helps to understand them before anything goes wrong.

14 min · Learn → Decide → Practise
Password Security, MFA and Identity Protection
Your accounts are the keys to the business. Unique passwords kept in an approved password manager, multi-factor authentication on critical accounts, and giving people only the access they need make it much harder for one stolen password to become a crisis.

Cloud Security and SaaS Safety for Small Businesses
Cloud email, storage, accounting and CRM tools are powerful, but the provider does not manage everything for you.

14 min · Learn → Decide → Practise

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment and Business Security Scorecards
