Assuming you're not a target leads to lax security practices in many SMBs who lack the knowledge or expertise to put simple security steps in place.
According to a Cyber Security Breaches Survey, businesses that hold electronic personal data of their customers are more likely than average to have had breaches.
Cyber attackers often rely on human error, so it's vital that staff are trained in cyber hygiene so they recognise risks and respond appropriately.
The Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022 revealed that the most common types of breaches were staff receiving fraudulent emails or phishing attacks, followed by people impersonating the organisation in emails or online, viruses, spyware and malware, and ransomware.
Attacks are increasingly automated, so SMBs are just as vulnerable targets as larger enterprises, more so if they don't have adequate security processes in place.
