The Bogota Chamber of Commerce has developed a Guide that enables SMEs to protect themselves against cyber-attacks. The Guide highlights that these types of organizations are also attracting cybercriminals, due to the lack of security measures. As such, companies are urged to take proactive measures to protect themselves against cyber-attacks by implementing basic security controls and educating employees. Additionally, it highlights that cyber-attacks can have devastating consequences for these companies, such as loss of data, disruption of business operations and reputational damage.
On the other hand, it offers practical advice for SMEs to strengthen their cybersecurity measures. Among others, it recommends implementing measures such as keeping operating systems and software up to date, using strong passwords and regularly backing up information. It also provides instructions on how to delete cookies and browsing history and presents common cases in which it is possible to be a victim of information theft.
In this way, the Guide demonstrates how cybersecurity and information protection is crucial for all types of organizations, regardless of their size. By doing so, SMEs can reduce the risk of suffering financial losses and reputational damage due to cyber-attacks.
