Top Security Threats

The increased volume and frequency of cyberattacks has made information security an everyday issue. SMBs represent low hanging fruit for many threat actors seeking new targets of attack, so much so that according to the National Small Business Association 50% of small businesses have already been impacted by cyber-attacks with an average cost of $20,752. With SMBs increasingly under threat, it’s important to understand the top security threats your organization faces.
