Small businesses aren’t too small to be targeted; they're often the first targets.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow breaks down what cybersecurity really looks like for small and medium-sized businesses with limited resources. With nearly half of all cyberattacks aimed at SMBs and many companies never recovering, this episode focuses on what actually matters when budgets, time, and teams are tight.

Aaron cuts through fear-based messaging and tool overload to share simple, affordable steps that can dramatically reduce risk without requiring a full security team or enterprise spend.

You’ll learn:

• Why small businesses are prime cyber targets
• The most common mistakes that lead to catastrophic loss
• How basic policies and employee awareness stop most attacks
• Why multi-factor authentication, backups, and segmentation are non-negotiable
• How to prioritize cybersecurity when resources are limited
• Why resilience not perfection is the real goal
  
  

Whether you’re a founder, business owner, or IT lead at a growing company, this episode gives you practical guidance you can act on immediately before a cyber incident forces your hand.

Tune in to learn how to protect your business, your data, and your future only on Protect It All.
