Fernando Brinn explains that some small businesses may not have access to cybersecurity software or insurance.

  • Small businesses like mom-and-pop stores may not have internet capabilities
  • Community organizations dealing with small businesses and health centers need cyber insurance and testing
  • They have to prove cyber resilience by testing infrastructure security
  • Cloud-based businesses use monitoring tools to detect intrusions
  • Penetration testing is done for profit and non-profit organizations to ensure infrastructure security
