IT Security
Practical security for small businesses & non-profits
This becomes a cyber resilience knowledge base: readable, but technically correct. No attack guides – defense only.
Risk reality
- Unclear ownership
- Too many admin rights, too little MFA
- Backups without restore testing
- Missing email auth (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)
- Logs exist, but nobody reviews them
Quick wins
- MFA wherever possible
- Password manager + clear policy
- Patch cycles + document exceptions
- 3-2-1 backups + monthly restore test
- Least privilege
Network & access (SMB-friendly)
- Segmentation: office / servers / DMZ / IoT / guests
- Firewall: deny by default → allow explicitly
- Remote: VPN + MFA + logging
