As Hackers Target Small to Medium Businesses, Cybersecurity Matters More than Ever
Do small to medium businesses (SMBs) get a free pass from hackers? Do the bad guys go for the big whales and ignore the small fry? As it turns out, the opposite is true.
According to Symantec’s 2016 Internet Security Threat Report, phishers and other hackers go for small businesses almost as much as bigger enterprises, with 43 percent of phishing attacks aiming for SMBs(compared to 18 percent in 2011).
It all makes sense: after all, SMBs offer richer pickings for arguably less effort.
