Norton Launches Norton Small Business to Protect Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners
Norton, a leading cybersecurity company, has introduced Norton Small Business, an all-in-one solution designed to empower entrepreneurs and small business owners in safeguarding their financial futures. With small businesses accounting for nearly 90% of global businesses and 99.9% in the UK, many lack the resources to protect their digital environments like larger enterprises do. Norton Small Business aims to bridge this gap by providing triple-lock protection that is accessible and easy to use.
Massimo Rapparini, General Manager and Head of Small Business Safety at Gen, highlighted the challenges faced by small business owners, stating, “Owning a very small business often means each member of the team wears different hats, and usually cybersecurity expert isn’t one of them. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are aware of this and often target such businesses. For entrepreneurs and small businesses, falling for just one phishing email could have a devastating impact.”
While consumers are increasingly exposed to scams and phishing threats, small businesses are even more vulnerable and frequently targeted. According to Gen’s data, 82% of cyber threats against small businesses in the UK rely on manipulating people. Among these threats, phishing remains the most common method employed by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to small business systems, private data, financials, and intellectual property.
Furthermore, businesses with fewer than 10 employees often lack dedicated IT support, leaving them at significant risk if targeted by cybercriminals. In fact, in 2022 alone, cybercrime cost UK businesses an average of £4200. Norton Small Business aims to help these small enterprises protect their critical data and minimize the potential financial losses associated with cyber attacks.
With Norton Small Business, entrepreneurs and small business owners can now take proactive steps to ensure the security of their online activities, devices, and customer data. By making comprehensive cybersecurity protection accessible and user-friendly, Norton aims to empower small businesses in safeguarding their digital environments and securing their financial futures.
