A majority of small to medium-sized businesses assume that malicious internet users or "bad actors" only target medium to large business enterprises, and thus end up predisposing themselves to hackers and becoming easier targets. In reality, as technology keeps advancing, these bad actors keep inventing more sophisticated hacking tactics to attack businesses with relaxed or non-existent cybersecurity policies, regardless of their sizes.
Typically, cybercriminals choose their targets indiscriminately based on factors such as the level of vulnerability a potential target exudes. However, that doesn't mean that they won't target your small business investment just because it's small in size; their focus is your money, not the size of your business. An Internet Security Threat Report in 2016 indicated that 43 percent of phishing campaigns target small businesses. In essence, this Symantec report shows that around one in forty small businesses faces a cybersecurity risk.
A recent study has shown that 1 out of 5 small business networks are increasingly becoming direct targets that hackers can easily compromise. If your business network is compromised, you may end up losing sensitive financial data, customer information or even become a victim of identity theft.
