WSJ What’s News · How Small Businesses Can Fight a Growing Wave of Cyber Crime · 10 Aug 2025 podcast

That's why it's so important, especially even for small businesses, to remain very vigilant, conduct things like regular phishing tests, and make sure that their employees are up to date on what sort of tactics cybercriminals are using to compromise them, because these are changing so often.

So now, for instance, with the advent of generative AI tools, you have voice phishing becoming increasingly more common, where an attacker will simulate the voice of the trusted individual within the company to try and convince someone to transfer funds or gain access into an employee's account.

In addition to just remaining vigilant for these sorts of social engineering attacks, keeping software up to date is also very important.

And I'm sure every IT team in the world knows this as well.

But attackers can use automated scanning tools to identify known vulnerabilities in a business's network and then reach them that way.

And there's also the very standard things of just maintaining regular data backups, implementing multi-factor authentication for your employees.

And also, if you are concerned about DDoS attacks, investing in anti-DDoS protection services.

A DDoS attack is essentially when an attacker floods your network with a lot of traffic and takes a website down.

And that can be really detrimental, for instance, a small business, if you are relying on online sales to generate a lot of your revenue.

A lot of cybersecurity firms can offer managed services for smaller companies that may not be able to operate a full cybersecurity team.

So that's how they can mitigate against a lot of these risks.

But I also think that adding more and more software into these business operations also increases the risk of things like supply chain attacks.

So let's say a business relies on a third party vendor for cloud storage services.

So if an attacker breaches the vendor, they could gain access to data stored by that business.

And a good example of this is actually the recent Microsoft SharePoint attacks.

So there was a previously unknown vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint servers that was first exploited by attackers a few weeks ago.

And now we have ransomware groups trying to encrypt the data on some of these servers.

And of course, some of this data belongs to companies and government agencies.
