The Importance of Cybersecurity for Small Businesses

Are you a small business owner?

Maybe you’re struggling with the idea of cybersecurity?

As a small business owner, you juggle countless priorities—keeping customers happy, managing operations, and staying ahead of the competition. But one critical area you can’t afford to overlook is cybersecurity. Even industry giants like Ingram Micro, a global IT distributor, recently fell victim to a SafePay ransomware attack in July 2025, causing widespread outages and disrupting their operations for days. If a company of their size can be hit, small businesses are even more vulnerable without the right protections in place.

Ransomware isn’t the only threat. The looming end of support for Windows 10, Exchange Server 2016, and older Windows Server versions (like 2012 and 2016) is a ticking time bomb for businesses still relying on these systems. Microsoft will stop providing security updates for Windows 10 after October 14, 2025, and for Exchange Server 2016 and Windows Server 2016 soon after. Without updates, these systems become easy targets for hackers exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. Upgrading or migrating to supported platforms is no longer optional—it’s essential.

A Tale of Two Roles: IT and Cybersecurity

A photo of a computer keyboard with a combination sitting on top, representing the combo of IT and cybersecurity that NSG's tech support provides.
Did you know that many IT providers overlook basic cybersecurity measures?

Recently, we spoke with a cybersecurity company looking for “boots on the ground” to implement their recommendations for clients. They explained, “We aren’t IT guys – we focus on cybersecurity. We ensure businesses have firewalls, backups, disaster recovery plans, and antivirus software.”

Funny thing is, at NSG, we are IT guys – and we do all those things, too, alongside our broader IT services. Their comment sparked a realization: not all cybersecurity experts are IT professionals, and definitely not all IT professionals are cybersecurity experts.

We’ve interviewed countless IT candidates with years of experience who know little about backups, disaster recovery, or protecting clients from viruses, ransomware, or malware. In today’s threat landscape, that’s a gap businesses can’t afford.
