Protecting Your Small Business: Multi-Factor Authentication
In this animated story, a food catering truck’s business is interrupted when
someone creates fake social media posts on their account, sending customers to
the wrong location. As the truck owner works to recover control of the business’
account, he learns about multi-factor authentication, a technique for adding
layers of security to account access. This video also helps introduce the
subject of multi-factor authentication or MFA, an increasingly common
cybersecurity technique. More information can be found at the NIST Small
Business Cybersecurity Corner website.

LATEST RESOURCES

 * We've published the final NISTIR 8374, Ransomware Risk Management: A
   Cybersecurity Framework Profile and the Quick Start Guide: Getting Started
   with Cybersecurity Risk Management | Ransomware.

 * NEW! Multi-Factor Authentication page

 * NEW! Phishing information page

 * NEW! Ransomware information page

 * From CISA.gov: The StopRansomware.gov webpage is an interagency resource that
   provides partners and stakeholders with ransomware protection, detection, and
   response guidance that they can use on a single website. This includes
   ransomware alerts, reports, and resources from CISA, the FBI, and other
   federal partners.

 * Small businesses may struggle knowing how to implement the Cybersecurity
   Framework.  To help meet this need, NIST developed this quick start
   guide(link is external). The guide provides cybersecurity activities for each
   Function of the Framework that may be good starting points for small
   businesses.

 * Free cybersecurity training for Small Businesses from non-profits Global
   Cyber Alliance and Cyber Readiness Institute(link is external). 

 * NIST has heard consistently that small and medium businesses would benefit
   from dedicated resources aimed at facilitating Privacy Framework
   implementation. To help meet this need, NIST developed this quick start
   guide. Although nominally for small and medium businesses, this guide is
   intended to help any organization get a risk-based privacy program off the
   ground or improve an existing one.

 * Need help with keeping your resources safe while teleworking? See our blogs
   on Telework Security Basics, Preventing Eavesdropping and Protecting Privacy
   on Virtual Meetings, Tips for Securing Conference Calls or our Telework
   Security Overview & Tip Guide.


OUR PARTNERS

Content outlined on the Small Business Cybersecurity Corner webpages contain
documents and resources submitted directly to us from our contributors. These
resources were identified by our contributors as information they deemed most
relevant and timely—and were chosen based on the current needs of the small
business community. Certain commercial entities may be identified in this
website or linked websites. Such identification is not intended to imply
recommendation or endorsement by NIST, nor is it intended to imply that the
entities, materials, or equipment are necessarily the best available for the
purpose.

If your resource is publicly available on the Internet, accurate and
comprehensive for a given type of cybersecurity risk or risk-reducing measure,
and freely available for others to use, it meets the basic criteria for
potential inclusion in the Small Business Cybersecurity Corner website. That
includes resources from government agencies and nonprofit organizations. If your
resource qualifies and you would like it considered for listing, send a
description of your resource to smallbizsecurity@nist.gov.
