The Dangers of Cybercrime
- Data Breaches: Cybercriminals target small businesses for their valuable data, including customer information, financial records, and proprietary data. A data breach can lead to severe financial losses, damage to your brand reputation, and legal repercussions.
- Ransomware Attacks: Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your data and holds it hostage until a ransom is paid. These attacks can cripple your operations, disrupt business continuity, and result in significant financial losses.
- Phishing Scams: Phishing emails and fraudulent websites are designed to deceive you into revealing sensitive information or downloading malicious software. Falling victim to a phishing scam can expose your business to data theft, financial fraud, and compromised network security.
- Compliance and Legal Risks: Depending on your industry, non-compliance with data protection regulations can result in hefty fines and legal consequences. It’s essential to ensure your business adheres to industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA or GDPR, depending on your operations.

This month, Murph Consulting turned 18. I cranked up Alice Cooper's "I'm 18" and Skid Row's "18 and Life" to get the vibes going. My company is now old enough to vote, get a tattoo, and get married, all without parental consent. Watch out, world!
In all seriousness, the passing of another year of entrepreneurship and running a successful business always feels like a good time to reflect. Since we started in 2007, we've assisted nearly 600 small businesses and residential clients. Businesses in every industry, ranging in size from the solopreneur to 100 employees. There’s no company we’ll say “you’re too small for us to help”, and that gives me great joy. Small businesses need tech and CyberSecurity support, and we’ve got their backs.
Speaking of, it's October again, and you all know what that means, right? The Mets have failed us, and the Islanders, Jets, and Rangers are about to. It's also Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Every small business should be implementing some basic security measures by now. It's easier and more affordable than you think it is, and definitely cheaper than dealing with the fallout of something drastically bad happening to your business.
How's your password game? Do you use strong passwords on all the sites you visit, or are they all slight modifications of one word, like your kids or pets' names or birth dates?
If it's the latter, let's chat. You should be using a password manager. They are easy to use, create complex passwords for you that you no longer need to remember, and keep them all safe for you. I can't remember the last time I had to click on the "forgot your password" link for any site, and I love that for me.
A password manager is just one of the seven software we feel EVERY small business should have in place to help keep them protected in 2025. We’ve packaged these up together neatly and made them affordable for the small businesses we will always support.
