Many small businesses believe they are too "off-the-radar" to be susceptible to a targeted attack, however that is not the case! Data from 2017 on small business cybersecurity proves otherwise.
- 43% of cyber attacks targeted small business.
- 60% of small companies responding went out of business within six months of a cyber attack.
- 48% of data security breaches are from attacks of malicious intent. The rest result from human error or system failure account.
- 16% of respondents admitted that they had only reviewed their cybersecurity posture after they were hit by an attack.
- The primary concern of small businesses is the security of customer data.
