Most breaches at small and mid-sized businesses do not involve a sophisticated attacker — they involve a basic gap that was never closed.
1. Multi-factor authentication, everywhere it is offered
Email, admin panels, banking portals, cloud storage — a stolen password alone should not be enough to get in.
2. A real patching schedule
Routers, firewalls, and server software with known vulnerabilities left unpatched are one of the most common entry points.
3. Backups that are actually tested
A backup nobody has tried restoring from is a hope, not a plan. Test restores on a schedule.
4. Least-privilege access
Not every employee needs admin rights to every system. Limiting access limits the blast radius when something does go wrong.
Accipiter's cybersecurity team runs a baseline security review covering exactly these points — get in touch to schedule one.
