“It Won’t Happen to Me” – The #1 Cybersecurity Myth CEOs Still Believe

The #1 Cybersecurity Myth CEOs Still Believe - “It Won’t Happen to Me”Every week, I meet a business owner who says, “We’re too small to be a target.”
That mindset? It’s music to a hacker’s ears.

Cyber attacks aren’t a matter of if—they’re a matter of when.
And the businesses that survive are the ones that prepared before disaster struck.

The False Sense of Security That's Costing Businesses Millions

Let me be blunt:
Hackers don’t care how big your business is.
They care how vulnerable it is.

From fake invoice scams to ransomware locking up entire networks, I’ve seen local Austin, TX businesses—law firms, medical clinics, construction companies—completely derailed by one bad click.

Their common thread?
They thought they were too small to be on a hacker’s radar.

At CTTS, We Help Businesses Shift From Denial to Defense

If your cybersecurity strategy is built on luck, you’re gambling with your company’s future. Here’s the better way forward:

✅ Shift the Mindset
Understand that cybersecurity is a business issue, not just an IT concern. It affects operations, finances, reputation, and even compliance.

✅ Train Your Team
We translate tech jargon into real-world awareness. When your employees recognize threats, they stop them before damage is done.

✅ Fortify the Basics
Strong passwords, secured backups, endpoint protection, and email filtering aren’t just good ideas—they’re essentials. We help you get them in place without disrupting your workflow.

A Real-Life Wake-Up Call

A company in Round Rock once told us, “We’re good—we’ve never had an issue.” Two months later?
They lost $88,000 to a business email compromise scheme.

That story isn’t rare.
It’s reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why would a hacker target a small business instead of a larger one?
Because small businesses often lack the layers of protection that large corporations have, making them easier and faster to exploit.

2. What’s the most common cyber attack you see in Central Texas right now?
Business email compromise and phishing scams are leading the pack, often resulting in wire fraud or credential theft.

3. How can I tell if my business is already compromised?
Signs include unexpected password resets, strange email behaviors, or unauthorized access alerts. But often, the signs come after the damage is done, which is why prevention is key.
