5 ICT security tips for SMEs in 2026
Cyber threats are growing in frequency and sophistication. What can your SME do today to better protect your organisation?
Cyberattacks are no longer limited to large multinationals. SMEs are an increasingly popular target. Here are five practical steps any organisation can take.
1. Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Enable MFA on all external access: email, cloud applications, and VPN.
2. Network segmentation
Separate critical systems from the rest of your network to limit damage.
3. Current backups
Test your backups regularly and keep an offline copy. In a ransomware attack, a tested backup is your best lifeline.
4. Staff training
Phishing is the most common attack vector. Regular awareness training is essential.
5. Patch management
Outdated software is an open door for attackers. Keep all systems up to date.
