Why are SMBs so vulnerable to cyber-attacks?
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), often operating with limited resources and facing challenges in maintaining a tech-savvy workforce, can unfortunately be more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Cybercriminals may see SMBs as easier targets compared to larger enterprises with more extensive security measures. Additionally, the impact of a data breach can be particularly devastating for SMBs due to their smaller size and limited capacity to recover. This makes robust cybersecurity not just a desirable addition but an absolute necessity for any business, regardless of its size.
Here are four points from our cybersecurity checklist that can help…
Data Protection
Customer data is a prime target for cyber-attacks
Incident Response
