SMALL BUSINESSES MAKE BIG TARGETS FOR CYBER ATTACK
Small businesses are increasingly at risk of cyber attacks, which can have severe financial, operational, and reputational consequences. The following statistics highlight the impact of cyber attacks on small and medium sized (SMB) and the costs involved in recovery.
- Nearly 43% of all cyber attacks were on small and medium sized businesses (SMB) [1] and 95% of these attacks can be attributed to human error.[2]
- On average, SMBs spend between $826 and $653,587 [3] on cybersecurity incidents and over the next 2 years, there is projected to see a 15% increase in cybercrime with costs estimated to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025.[2]
- Only 14% of SMB’s are prepared to face cyber attacks.[3]
