Segurança Cibernética para Pequenas e Médias Empresas: Ameaças, Prevenção e Conformidade - Um Estudo Teórico e Prático

Abstract

This article investigates the challenges of cybersecurity in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with an emphasis on the prevalence of phishing attacks. Two local SMEs were analyzed to assess their cybersecurity practices, including processes, employee compliance with secure protocols, network protection, and response procedures for device loss. The results indicate non-compliance with essential security recommendations, highlighting the need for improvements.
