Abstract

Cybersecurity is a critical aspect of small businesses' survival and growth, as they are increasingly becoming targets of cyber-attacks worldwide. The SolarWinds cyber-attack in 2020 exposed the vulnerabilities of small businesses and government agencies to sophisticated cyber threats. In response to this growing threat, experts have emphasized the need for small businesses to prioritize cybersecurity by developing a comprehensive strategy that includes risk assessment, vulnerability management, and incident response planning. Considering the SolarWinds hack, this essay provides an analytical and qualitative framework for comprehending the significance of cybersecurity for small enterprises. The framework explores the unique challenges that small businesses face in managing cybersecurity risks and identifies best practices for mitigating these risks. The study concludes that small companies must prioritize cybersecurity by acknowledging and identifying risks to safeguard themselves from the rising risk of cyberattacks and keep their consumers' confidence.
