Let's be honest—cybersecurity probably isn't what keeps you up at night. You're thinking about growing your business, serving your customers, and maybe sneaking in that long-overdue vacation. But here's the thing: ignoring cybersecurity might just be the most expensive decision you never made.

We've filled this issue with stories and strategies that matter to small business owners like you. Because whether you're running a cozy coffee shop or managing a remote team from your kitchen table, cybercriminals don't discriminate. They're counting on you being too busy to notice that suspicious email or update that security software.

The good news? Protecting your business doesn't require a computer science degree or a massive budget. Sometimes it's as simple as teaching your team to spot a fake email or remembering to lock your computer when you grab lunch. We break it all down in plain English—no tech jargon required.

You'll discover how that fancy point-of-sale system might be your weakest link, why your remote team needs more than just good Wi-Fi, and what those confusing terms like "ransomware" actually mean for your bottom line. We even threw in a quick assessment so you can see where you stand right now.

Think of cybersecurity like locking your doors at night. It's not about living in fear—it's about sleeping soundly knowing you've taken care of business. Because your hard work deserves protection, and your customers deserve to know their information is safe with you.

Here's to keeping the bad guys out and your business thriving.
