The truth behind 4 small business cybersecurity myths
The greatest cybersecurity threat for small businesses is a false sense of security. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) debunks four myths: attackers only target large companies, staff are not a concern, existing systems are safe, and cybersecurity is unaffordable. In reality, small businesses face constant attacks, with 51% lacking cybersecurity measures. The median cost per ransomware incident has doubled, with 95% involving losses between $1 and $2.25 million. Employees are vulnerable to social engineering, and breaches often result in significant recovery costs and time. Verizon offers tailored security solutions to help small businesses mitigate these risks.
