Cybersecurity is no longer a luxury but a necessity for businesses of all sizes. Small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks, as they often lack the resources and expertise to defend themselves against sophisticated threats.

Common Cyber Threats Targeting SMBs

• Ransomware: This type of malware encrypts a victim's data and demands a ransom payment for its decryption. Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, with SMBs being particularly targeted due to their often-limited security defenses.
• Phishing Attacks: These attacks involve sending fraudulent emails or messages designed to trick recipients into clicking on malicious links or attachments. Phishing attacks can lead to data breaches, malware infections, and other security incidents.
• Malware: Malicious software (malware) can infect computers and devices, causing damage, stealing data, or disrupting operations. SMBs are often targeted by malware due to their reliance on older or less secure systems.
• Supply Chain Attacks: These attacks target third-party vendors or suppliers in an attempt to gain access to a larger network. SMBs are often part of larger supply chains, making them vulnerable to such attacks.
• DDoS Attacks: Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks overwhelm a target website or network with traffic, making it unavailable to legitimate users. SMBs with limited resources may struggle to mitigate DDoS attacks.

The Impact of Cyberattacks on SMBs

Cyberattacks can have a devastating impact on SMBs, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and operational disruption. In some cases, attacks can even force businesses to close their doors permanently.
