We\u2019ve seen large corporations such as Yahoo have as many as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/10\/03\/technology\/yahoo-hack-3-billion-users.html\">three million accounts hacked<\/a>, and this is far from being a unique case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These situations in which corporations leaked or misused millions of accounts and credentials lead to an increase in regulations and policies on both local and global levels. Besides that, the users have also become more privacy-aware on the net.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if a company isn\u2019t handling billions of pieces of information, cybersecurity should be at the top of the list of priorities. Investors need to consider the security levels of startups they invest in, as potential data leaks can lead to a bad reputation for both sides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the importance of cybersecurity and the value it presents for both customers and investors should be a necessary task for startup founders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"significance-of-cybersecurity-in-investments\">Significance of Cybersecurity in Investments&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year there are <a href=\"https:\/\/earthweb.com\/how-many-startups-are-created-each-year\/\">millions of startups<\/a> emerging across the globe. Not all of them are going to succeed. Some because of a useless product, others because of poorly conducted marketing, and some because they haven\u2019t implemented effective cybersec policies, which led to compromising data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your startup has an amazing product and it\u2019s becoming more popular, why should privacy be the hill to die on?<\/strong> In the past, investors have been focusing more on the indicators of the financial health of a business rather than its technical aspects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the current landscape, the competition is becoming more fierce, and every aspect of a company is being considered. Cybersecurity breaches are actually one of a few events that can happen to a business that can make it sink to the bottom of the startup ocean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an investor, if a project has the potential to lose most of its value due to ignorance or recklessness regarding safety, they will likely ignore it completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, competition isn\u2019t the only reason for <a href=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/online-businesses-can-be-vulnerable-how-to-secure-yours\/\">prioritizing cybersecurity<\/a>. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated, and the increasing reliance on digital infrastructure led to an increase in their activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"cybersecurity-as-a-value-indicator\">Cybersecurity as a Value Indicator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-1000x1000.jpg\" alt=\"Cybersecurity as a Value Indicator\" class=\"wp-image-6115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920-1160x1160.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/refugees-1015294_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Image by Peggy und Marco Lachmann-Anke from Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By being able to prevent any downtime caused by cyber threats, cybersecurity represents significant value. The ability to safeguard its digital assets and sensitive information shows that the company is responsible and caring for its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This posture is intertwined with the company\u2019s operational performance and financial health. Cybersecurity measures are a whole set of different policies that require technical skills, upskilling employees, and investing in software and technology. Successfully executing the mentioned policies is a show of competency as a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like a <a href=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/how-can-a-business-data-breach-affect-employees\/\">security breach <\/a>is a signal that the company wasn\u2019t careful nor had the desire to enact safety protocols, leading to a blow in reputation, cybersecurity measures show that the company won\u2019t suffer from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the eyes of investors, once they understand that the company won\u2019t make a security fiasco, they can focus more on the product and other unique aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While businesses in all fields need to adhere to regulations about data, some industries require more attention than others. Many people have jumped on the artificial intelligence hype train, yet this type of software requires much more data, which ultimately means greater care with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the upside, having a streamlined and ethical process of collecting and analyzing data and making assumptions based on the results is another show of competency and value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ways-to-improve-your-companys-cybersecurity\">Ways to Improve Your Company\u2019s Cybersecurity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different ways of improving your company\u2019s overall security. Starting from training each employee to prevent and handle online threats to more technical aspects. However, no matter how effective you are at implementing these protocols, they don\u2019t guarantee complete safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-employee-training\">1. Employee Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who spent a lifetime online, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to ruin quite a few PCs because I wasn\u2019t very careful. <em>Thankfully, I\u2019ve learned a lot of lessons in those situations.<\/em> Employees, even in the tech industry, aren\u2019t necessarily tech-savvy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mitigate the risks of having your employees leaking data or having their computers corrupted, organize <a href=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/elevating-employee-training-the-impact-of-video-in-the-digital-age\/\">company-wide training<\/a> that will help them work through any blind spots in the context of online security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-regular-software-updates\">2. Regular Software Updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s your day off; you\u2019ve woken up without a worry in the world, and you\u2019ve decided to jump on your PC. But instead of going straight to social media or a video game, <em>you\u2019re welcomed by a Windows update that will last for an hour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, will it help if I tell you that happens for your own good? <strong>Regular software updates replace old versions of programs that might have some holes in their security.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-data-backup\">3. Data Backup&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Backing up data is essential if you want to protect your company from a complete catastrophe<\/strong>. Regular data backups ensure that no data is lost in a situations such as power outages, ransomware attacks, or employee mistakes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is software that does data backup automatically, but it\u2019s advisable if you would hire a professional who will take care of cybersecurity as well as doing data backups and software updates. It\u2019s always helpful to have someone reliable who will ensure that backups are regular and safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"non-monetary-impacts-of-cyber-incidents\">Non-Monetary Impacts of Cyber Incidents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280.jpg\" alt=\"Non-Monetary Impacts of Cyber Incidents\" class=\"wp-image-6114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-1067x800.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-260x195.jpg 260w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bankrupt-2922154_1280-1160x870.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Image by Simon Hill from Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in California, you should know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osano.com\/articles\/california-privacy-laws-ccpa-cpra\">what is cpra<\/a>, but if you\u2019re doing business with customers or clients from Europe, you should also keep up with GDPR. According to these documents, you will pay significant fines, but the impact of breaching user privacy isn\u2019t only financial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yahoo has been mentioned in the introduction, and if you\u2019re deciding what email provider you want to pick, you\u2019re probably not going to choose it. The reputation of an unsafe and unreliable provider is often what will turn away every customer, even if their features are the best in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an extreme case of a company that permanently ruined the bond between itself and its customers. Investors wouldn\u2019t want to invest in a company that can\u2019t get customers to trust them enough to give them their money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Poor cybersecurity practices affect not only the external processes of your company but also internal ones.<\/strong> For example, if some of your employees catch ransomware on their workstations, they will likely have access to work-related data restricted. Furthermore, if this happens on a company-wide level, you can expect serious downtime and data loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is only the tip of the iceberg, if your company manufactures physical products, a whole chain of processes will get stopped. Your customer service, supply chain, as well as critical functions of the manufactory will stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hackers are often talked about as if they are random tech-savvy people who are evil and want to ruin someone&#8217;s achievements. The truth is that they can sometimes get hired by your competitors who want to steal intellectual property such as trade secrets, research data, and product designs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"mitigating-investment-risks\">Mitigating Investment Risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following at least some of the ways mentioned in the related section will certainly lower the chances of failed investments. However, on the financial side, there are additional ways to protect yourself legally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your company is handling equity stocks, another group affected by cybersecurity breaches are your employees. You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/ledgy.com\/blog\/pre-and-post-money-option-pools\">equity management software for large enterprises<\/a> to understand how the shares of your employees are delegated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cyber insurance has emerged as a tool to facilitate recovery from cyber threats.<\/strong> Just like health insurance can\u2019t protect you from getting sick, cyber insurance won\u2019t prevent hackers from trying to get you. But, it will serve as a safety net for covering legal fees, regulatory fines, and recovery efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"taking-care-of-online-safety-expands-investment-opportunities\">Taking Care of Online Safety Expands Investment Opportunities&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From preventing financial losses to keeping a reputable image in the eyes of your investors and customers, high cybersecurity standards are essential for your business. Even though malicious attacks can be conducted more efficiently than ever, so is defending against them easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no excuses for not implementing some safety policies at your workplace. Some of them can even be applied for free, and those that have high costs justify their price by the amount of safety they bring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being careful with data and protecting everyone involved with your product will go a long way. Although amazing security protocols won\u2019t make up for a poor product in the eyes of the investors, not having them can certainly turn them away from your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2e3b Author Bio \u2e3b <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/veljko-petrovic.png\" alt=\"Veljko Petrovi\u0107\" class=\"wp-image-6113\" width=\"230\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/veljko-petrovic.png 319w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/veljko-petrovic-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/veljko-petrovic-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/futuramo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/veljko-petrovic-110x110.png 110w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Veljko is a student of information technology that paired his passion for technology with his writing skills.
