why is cybersecurity awareness important for businesses?
Many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) often underestimate their risk because they think they don’t have anything of value to make them a target for hackers. This, however, is far from the truth. A study showed that 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and yet, only 14% are sufficiently prepared to protect themselves.
Just like bigger businesses, SMBs can also carry a sizeable volume of personal and financial data from customers or employees. A lack of preparedness means hackers can more easily breach an SMB to steal this data and enjoy a good payday.
For more on what makes small businesses an easy target for hackers and what you can do to protect your business in the long run, check out our blog post, Why Do Hackers Target Small Businesses?
As cyber threats continue to emerge and become more sophisticated, especially with the rise of AI, it’s very important for businesses to take cybersecurity preparedness and awareness seriously.
