Picture this: it is tax time, and your HR director receives an email from someone who’s pretending to be you–the CEO. The HR director thinks that the email is legit and send over copies of all your employees’ payrolls. Days later, the email sender who actually is a professional hacker, uses those copies to lodge fake tax returns.

Cyber-attacks like this happen every day. If you’re running a small or midsize company, you’re certainly a prime target for an attack. Small and midsize firms fall victim to majority of these data breaches because they tend to:

A recent report (a research in collaboration with Cisco) which is based on data from 1,377 CEOs of small and midsize businesses, tells a similar story. 62% of respondents said their firms don’t have an up-to-date or active cybersecurity strategy. Even more concerning, many of these businesses had no strategy at all. Ultimately that’s a major problem, especially when you factor in the real cost of a cyberattack which can be high enough to put a company out of business; According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, 60% of small and midsized businesses that are hacked go out of business within six months.

When it comes to malware threats that impact SMBs, ransomware is still at the top of the list. Although this is a major concern, they are also under attack from other threats including viruses, adware, spyware and remote access trojans.

Cybercriminals are skilled hackers. They continue evolving their tactics, making cyberthreats an unfortunate ever-present reality. There is no silver bullet solution for the problem.
