Overview
Small businesses in Chicago — manufacturers in Bolingbrook, distributors in Joliet, retail businesses in Naperville, service businesses throughout the north and south suburbs — are not too small to be cybersecurity targets. Ransomware operators do not filter by company size. Phishing attacks do not require a minimum employee count. The data that small businesses collect from customers, employees, and vendors represents value to attackers who are operating at scale and looking for organizations without the security controls to stop them.
SecureNext works with Chicago-area small businesses to provide right-sized security programs — not enterprise frameworks applied to a 30-person company, but security assessments, practical remediation, and basic security hygiene programs appropriate to the actual risk profile and budget of a small business. The starting point is usually a security assessment that tells you what you are actually exposed to before you decide what to do about it.
