          BBB Cybersecurity is a business education resource created to provide small and midsize businesses (SMBs) with valuable tools, tips, and content to help them manage cyber risks and learn about cybersecurity best practices in the modern business environment. 

          Importance of cybersecurity

          Today’s cybercriminals pose more significant threats to the economy than ever before. New safeguards are needed in order to protect businesses both small and large.

          Businesses are better able to manage cyber-attacks and learn from industry best practices by:

          • Exploring the real and perceived risks of cyber-attacks
          • Offering education and awareness - cybersecurity is a complex topic for the business community
          • Building public trust in businesses’ cybersecurity standards

          Impact

          Cybersecurity is not only about adding layers of security technology. It starts with understanding about managing cybersecurity risks. The Better Business Cybersecurity 5-Step Approach helps business owners do just that. This model helps business owners: 

          • Understand how best to identify and protect vital data and technology assets
          • Learn to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats
          • Recover from a cybersecurity incident

           

           

          View great resources from the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and leading technology companies e.g. Google, Facebook and Microsoft.

          Protecting your home has never been more critical. Safeguard your home and your family with resources from Control with Cable, The Entertainment Software Rating Board, GetNetWise, iKeepSafe Coalition, i-SAFE, Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Symantec and Savvy Cyber Kids.

          For cybercrime victims:

          Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cybercrime. 

          Victims of identity theft can get help from the Federal Trade Commission's IdentityTheft.gov. You can report what happened, get a recovery plan, and put your plan into action.
