Cybersecurity: Key Steps to Mitigate Business Threats in 2025

CTI Technical Services highlights the growing cybersecurity threats facing small- and mid-sized businesses. In today's environment, attacks are increasing, and companies need a plan to protect themselves. CEO Erik Eisen emphasizes that vulnerabilities can lead to severe consequences, noting that 60% of small businesses close within six months following a cyberattack.

A New Relic survey shows that businesses face an average of 232 outages annually, with small businesses particularly susceptible to cyber attacks, as they often lack adequate protection. Alarmingly, 73% of small US businesses experienced an attack in 2023.

CTI suggests a proactive approach, including a self-assessment focusing on staff training, security measures, software updates, vendor security, and continuity plans. They advocate partnering with experienced IT providers for regular monitoring and training.
