“A cyber attack? That will never happen to me”

We’ve all said that. 

Truth is, that’s far from reality. Instead, cyber attacks are on the rise and targeting the most vulnerable. For example, in 2019, 43% of data breaches targeted small business, and this year it could be you.

Why small businesses?

All businesses are at risk. However, smaller ones are sometimes an easier target because they lack the resources larger businesses have, and hackers know that.

What is the most common way hackers access a business?

Hackers steal information mainly through email. They send spam to trick you into giving away personal information.

Many of these cyber attacks work in silence and compromise your information without you being aware of it. Once you find out, the damage is done and it’s difficult or impossible to repair.

On average, 60% of small businesses go out of business within 6 months of a cyber-attack. This is a dangerously high rate, considering how many business haven’t even installed a basic cyber-security program. Any business could suddenly go downhill with an incident like this.
