According to a recent Verizon data breach report, 43% of global cyberattacks target small and medium businesses. Cyberattacks have long been associated with big corporations, but cyber security for medium businesses are the new target.
To find out more about cyber threats facing your medium business and ways to mitigate them, give us a call today.
Cyber security is an essential aspect for medium businesses, for they have everything to lose in case of a security breach. 6 in 10 small and medium businesses fold within six months of a cyber-breach due to lost revenue and damaged reputation; this is according to Symantec. SMBs are easy targets for cyber attackers because they handle sensitive information, and they also lack sophisticated cybersecurity tools.
Cyber security is a desirable and essential aspect for every technologically driven business, but there are challenges around it. For medium businesses, for instance, the challenges are rather distinct:
Due to a wrong perception associating cybersecurity with big corporations, medium businesses do not fully understand the current reality surrounding cyber security risks.
A comprehensive cyber security policy – which entails suitable tools and well-trained staff – requires large budget allocations, something many medium businesses have no capacity to achieve.
Among medium businesses, there is over-reliance and dependence on internal IT staff or third-party IT providers for their cyber security.
