THE STATE OF

SMB CYBERSECURITY

Cyber crime is an increasing threat to businesses today: The global cost of cybercrime will reach $2 trillion by 2019, a threefold increase from the 2015 estimate of $500 billion. However, it’s not just Fortune 500 companies at risk — small and midsized organizations (those with 100 to 1,000 employees) are one of the fastest-growing targets. According to Keeper Security’s “The State of SMB Cybersecurity” report, a staggering 50 percent of small and midsized organizations reported suffering at least one cyberattack in the last 12 months. Of course, those statistics only represent the crimes we are aware of, as many more go undetected.

Cyber risk is the risk of financial loss, disruption and/or damage to the reputation of the organization due to the failure of its IT infrastructure. Many businesses today are lacking an appropriate cyber security strategy, a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy, and a proactive incident response strategy. Phishing, spoofing, ransomware and social engineering are the most common methods used today, making the threats hard for untrained employees to decipher. Possible outcomes? Your business could face third-party civil litigation, a damaged reputation, and a possible attack diverting payroll, leaving your employees unpaid.
