Welcoming New Possibilities but Exposing Us to New Risks at the Same Time! Cybercriminals of today will stop at nothing; they no longer solely target large corporations but also set their sights on small and medium-sized businesses that are less likely to have the same level of security resources in place. Affordable cybersecurity services are available and can even be done at a great price point for smaller businesses that were prior only servicing large enterprise companies so that they can use some form of cyber security risk management practice without spending an arm and a leg. This change has been a game-changer in that smaller corporations can now leverage the help of cybersecurity consulting firms, managed cybersecurity services, and Cyber Security Consultancy Solutions once considered far beyond their reach.
A common belief is that cyberattacks only happen to the big boys. The truth is the opposite of that. Because some of these cybercriminals know that small businesses probably do not have a dedicated cyber security analyst or virtual cyber intelligence center to monitor their systems 24/7. So it might even be fair to say that hackers sometimes go after these smaller businesses because they know they don’t have the same defenses set up as their bigger counterparts. And this is where continuous education can play the most significant role. It not only helps small businesses stay informed of typical threats but also arms them with the tools to make on-the-fly decisions about their cybersecurity risk management.
