Small Business Cybersecurity Starter Kit – Ghost Curated

Large enterprises?
Small businesses?
Threat actors watch them.

They want your data.
They hunt for your money.

Whales defend themselves.
Dedicated security teams.
Budget for tools.

Small businesses?
Vulnerable.
No security team.
No IT budget.
No shield.
Easy targets.

For you, protection comes in a different form.

Open-source Software – The Ghost’s Toolset

Open-source is auditable.
Read the code.
Understand it.

You’re not tied to vendors.
Low costs or even free.

Used it? Buy the devs a coffee.
Respect the Operator who deploys it.

Linux Is The Firewall

UFW is light.
Iptables is a silent blade.
Dedicated firewall distros for perimeter defenses.

You don’t need the price of a space ship.

Password Vaults Of Ghost Ops

Use Passbolt for small teams.
Vaultwarden fits lightweight orgs.
KeepassXC is the vault of client side.

Both used by Ghosts.
Trusted.
Audited.

Silent Office Toolset

LibreOffice is freedom.
But plain text is not a shame.
Emacs Org-Mode is advanced.
Markdown is simple and effective.

No telemetry, no noise.
No subscriptions, no hidden costs.

Secure Mail

Proton Mail is encrypted.
Easy to use. Ghost grade privacy.
Self-hosted mail? Hard. But possible.
Use GnuPG for additional encryption.

Secure Communications

  • Element (Matrix)
  • SimpleX Chat

Use end to end encrypted comms.
Host your own servers.

Avoid WhatsApp. Avoid compromise.

Ghost Whispers

Privacy is not a right.
Cybersecurity is not optional.
They are a responsibility.

For enterprises.
For small businesses.
For individuals.
For all.

In any doubt, The Ghost Operator may help or advise.
