Hackers Expect your small business to be Less Prepared
Hackers target small businesses for a variety of reasons, including the fact that many small businesses have weaker cybersecurity measures in place, making them easier targets.
In addition, small businesses may not have the resources to devote to cybersecurity, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.
- According to a study by the National Cyber Security Alliance, 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyber attack go out of business within six months
- Small businesses are targeted for customer information, financial data, and intellectual property. 43% of data breaches target small businesses
- Small businesses accounted for 43% of all phishing attacks in the first quarter of 2021.
Most small businesses are at a Disadvantage.
Small businesses may not have the resources to hire dedicated IT staff or invest in expensive cybersecurity tools. According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a data breach for a small business is $3.86 million, which can be devastating for many small businesses.
Small businesses may lack the knowledge and expertise to implement effective cybersecurity measures. According to a report by the National Small Business Association, only 14% of small businesses rate their ability to mitigate cyber risks and attacks as highly effective.
Small businesses may be more vulnerable to supply chain attacks, as they may not have the same level of control over their suppliers and partners as larger companies. According to a report by the cybersecurity firm Symantec, supply chain attacks increased by 200% in 2017.
Many businesses have no idea how vulnerable they are
