The Vital Role of Cybersecurity for Startups
Cybersecurity should be a top priority for startups, even before finalizing their product or identifying their market. This is crucial because cyber attacks can affect any company, regardless of its size or revenue. Many startups mistakenly believe that they aren't attractive targets for hackers, but most cyber attacks are indiscriminate and can impact any business, including small startups. Implementing basic security measures early on can prevent future data breaches that could significantly harm their operations and reputation.
