Cyberattacks are no longer just a threat to large corporations - small business owners are now the most frequent and most vulnerable targets. In this episode of The How of Business, Henry Lopez speaks with cybersecurity expert and Entoo Security founder Nick Mullen about how you can protect your business from cyber attacks using clear, practical, and affordable strategies.

Nick breaks down the modern cyber threat landscape, including: Ransomware and extortion scams AI-powered phishing emails and voice impersonations The myth of "I’m too small to be a target" The importance of email access controls and proper backups

They also explore the FTC Safeguards Rule, which now applies to many more small businesses, and what it means to be compliant. Nick emphasizes the importance of understanding where your data lives, limiting who can access it, and training your team to spot threats before they cause damage.

“You might think you’re too small to be a target, but $50,000 is a huge payday for a criminal overseas—and they can attack thousands of small businesses every day,” Nick warns.

Whether you run a solo business or have a growing team, this episode will give you the clarity and steps you need to protect what you've worked so hard to build.
