As a part of National Cybersecurity Month, last week the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) launched a campaign to help educate and assist small businesses with cybersecurity. In conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Small Business Administration (SBA), the FTC has published a collection of materials for small businesses about cybersecurity. These materials include information about the following:
-
