    Bonus Episode 21: Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Small Business, Big Risk: Cybersecurity Moves That Matter

    In this special Cybersecurity Awareness Month episode of Oh Hell No…Not My Data, Keisha welcomes back Robert Maxwell, founder of TGT Solutions, to discuss practical cybersecurity strategies for small and medium-sized businesses. Many small business owners believe they are “too small” to be attacked, but Robert explains why that assumption can put business data, customer trust, and company reputation at risk. This episode breaks down common vulnerabilities, why prevention matters, how to think about cybersecurity on a small budget, and the practical steps every business can take to strengthen protection over time. You’ll learn why cybersecurity is not a one-time task, how awareness training can help teams stop and review before clicking suspicious emails, why multi-factor authentication matters, and how working with the right partner can help small businesses build a realistic month-over-month cybersecurity plan. Robert also shares an important reminder about AI: bad actors can use AI too, so businesses need to understand what data is exposed, what is password protected, what is logged, and where expert guidance may be needed. If you are a small or mid-sized business owner, this episode is a reminder that protecting your data is not just about technology, it is about protecting your customers, your reputation, and the future of your business.
