Cybersecurity Threats Facing Gwinnett Businesses
The attacks hitting small businesses now, and how to reduce the risk.

The Threat Is Real
Atlanta Small Businesses Are Under Attack -- And Most Aren't Ready
43% of all cyber attacks now target small businesses. Only 14% of those businesses are prepared to defend themselves. Ransomware gangs use automated scanning tools. Phishing emails disguised as invoices, shipments, and password resets flood inboxes daily. Without a comprehensive security strategy, it's not a matter of if you'll be breached -- it's when. NGT Technology, a Lawrenceville-based managed IT provider, delivers the multi-layered cybersecurity your business needs.

Local Alert
Gwinnett County Data Breach: What Local Businesses Should Do
There have been recent reports of a data breach affecting Gwinnett County government systems, and plenty of local business owners are wondering what it means for them. We will not guess at what was exposed or how. What we can do is tell you what to check this week, because a county breach only matters to you if your business or your staff have data sitting in it.
1. Check for password reuse. Ask whether anyone on your team used their work email and the same password on a county portal (permits, licenses, taxes, vendor registration). Change that password everywhere it was reused, starting with email.
2. Know who holds your data. Make a short list of the vendors and government portals that store your business information: bank details, tax IDs, employee records, customer files. You cannot protect what you do not know is out there.
3. Turn on MFA. Email and online banking first, then everything else. It is the cheapest single step that reduces the risk of a stolen password turning into a stolen account.
If that feels like more than you have time for, that is fine. Book a free discovery call and we will go through it with you. No pressure and no scare tactics, just a plain look at where you stand.
