Attackers view smaller organizations as having fewer security protocols in place, therefore requiring less effort to compromise.

Lumu has found that compromise is significantly different for small businesses than for medium-sized and large enterprises.

"There is no silver bullet for organizations to protect themselves from compromise, but there are critical steps to take to understand your potential exposure and make sure that your cybersecurity protocols are aligned accordingly," says Ricardo Villadiego, CEO of Lumu.

72% of organizations either don't or only partially monitor the use of network resources and traffic, which is problematic given that most compromises tend to originate from within the network.

Medium-sized businesses and large enterprises don't see as much malware and are more susceptible to Domain Generated Algorithms.
