Regular cybersecurity checkups are essential for SMBs to identify and address potential IT security issues, protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, and maintain business continuity. Despite limited resources, SMBs must prioritize cybersecurity to mitigate risks posed by cybercriminals, who often target smaller businesses due to fewer safeguards. Benefits of cybersecurity checkups include risk mitigation, compliance adherence, preparation for security incidents, and continuous improvement. Conducting a checkup involves utilizing security solutions like AWS Security Hub and Amazon GuardDuty, automating security assessments, scanning AWS accounts for issues, and following a security checklist. SMBs should establish a timeline, budget, and staffing plan for cybersecurity measures. With AWS, SMBs can access robust security infrastructure and services to protect their data and operations in the cloud, empowering business growth and innovation while ensuring security and compliance.
