Be it a small
business or an enterprise, cybersecurity threats possess the same amount of
risk. There is a common myth that exists that a small business can’t become a
potential target of any cybersecurity; however, this is not the case.
With an increasing number of automated
cyberattacks rising every day, it has allowed small businesses to serve
as soft-targets. When compared to larger enterprises, small businesses
are low on resources and often don’t tend to invest quite extensively on
security technologies. Due to the lack of dedicated and stringent
cybersecurity measures, it makes them an easier target of
cybercriminals.
A cyberattack can result in a damaged
image for such business and its post-effects can be quite devastating.
An online report states that a small business with an employee cap less
than 500, tend to lose around $2.5 million after every cyberattack.
Losing out such a huge amount of money can be financially demotivating
for any small business. Keeping in mind all these reasons, small
businesses must make sure that they’re aware of these threats and how
they can stop them in the initial stages.
