As small businesses try to "get back to business" many are
venturing into unchartered waters, purchasing software and
hardware that allows them to keep everything working remotely.
What are some tips for buying, choosing products, training
employees, setting up customer-facing systems that will allow

Media Outlet: Motley Fool - The Blueprint

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 July

Query:

Prior to the pandemic, small business could exist without some
of the bells and whistles large corporations required. Now,
post-COVID, there are some things that are non-negotiable: ex. a
pool of reliable gig workers, a contingency plan, an on-call IT
repair team, a social media presence, a sense of humor, etc.
What resources have you added to your arsenal (if you are an SMB
owner) or do you recommend SMBs add to their arsenals to move
forward in turbulent times and an uncertain economy?

I'd like to talk to small business owners or small business
advisers about personal experiences as well as trends they are

Often, when SMBs invest in technology for their organizations,
they skimp a bit on the network security. Now, as many have sent

cyber attacks. What are the most sensible, affordable, and
effective ways for small businesses (1 to 100 people) to protect
their hardware, software, networks, employee laptops, and
sensitive financial and customer data from attack?

Requirements:

Looking for cyber security experts who can offer advice to small
businesses on how to protect their technology and data from
cyber attacks. I need concrete examples--product recommendations
or at least product types and what to look for. Also need
general background on how widespread this problem is, and what
the biggest mistakes small business owners make when it comes to
safeguarding their technology.
