FTC Launches New Cyber Security Tools for Small Business

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a resource to raise awareness about the vital role cybersecurity plays for the 32+ million small businesses in the US. This effort was part of the National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) in October, which has been recognized every month since 2003. The NCSAM was established with the collaboration of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance to ensure the safety and security of internet users. As more small businesses started getting online, the cyber threats they face has been growing with them. And today small businesses are a big of a target as anyone else in the digital world.  The goal of the FTC’s new resources platform is to keep small businesses informed and fully aware of the dangers they face with their online presence.
