Half of surveyed small-business websites fail basic security headers

Original: Security headers on 4,688 small-business websites: 49.7% met none of 7 criteria

A new study examined 4,688 small-business websites and found that 49.7% met none of seven standard security header criteria, raising concerns about basic web hygiene among small firms. The findings highlight how many businesses remain exposed to common attacks like cross-site scripting and clickjacking despite free, easy-to-apply protections.

Why now: It quantifies widespread neglect of simple, free security measures among small businesses, prompting debate about awareness and responsibility.
