"It will never happen to me," say most small business owners. Hackers only go after billion-dollar companies and government agencies, right? Wrong. The 2017 State of SMB Cybersecurity Report found that 54 percent of all small businesses had suffered a data breach within the past 12 months. Today's highly sophisticated hackers use automated bots to search for vulnerabilities and carry out attacks. Small businesses represent the path of least resistance because security is often neglected. Once a breach occurs, the news only gets worse. The average cost of a breach is $117,000 for small businesses, according to a Kaspersky Lab report. In addition to the financial cost, reputations are often destroyed. In fact, research from the U.S. National Cyber Security Alliance found that 60 percent of small businesses go out of business within six months of a data breach. Instead of assuming it won't happen, the safer bet is to assume you will be attacked and plan accordingly. Start by securing your most valuable online asset – the company website.

She helped me edit my essay over and over and allowed me to express frustrations that I had throughout the college search process. I could not be more grateful…" – Senior at VHS "Nicole Smith really helped me with the entire college process. Meeting with her once a month helped me stay on track, so I never felt the pressure of any looming deadlines. She helped me make decisions about where to apply and helped my mom with some of the forms … I don't know how I could have successfully applied to college without her." – Senior at HCRHS "Nicole's knowledge of the process is invaluable. Her guidance empowered our daughter to take ownership of the process which greatly reduced everyone's stress. She took the time to truly get to know our daughter and inspired her to apply to colleges we would have never even considered." – Mom of a Senior at DVHS "Although the college process may seem self explanatory, it was great to have the expertise of Nicole… She has been very accommodating and is current on the latest college admission trends.' – Mom of a Senior at NHHS Mention this February article for a free 30 minute meeting to learn about the services offered.
