Is Your Business Vulnerable to a Cyberattack?
 
Just because your company is small doesn't mean it's safe from cybersecurity threats.
 
It seems like every other day you hear another story about a massive data and/or a security breach at a major corporation or public institution. If you own a small to medium-sized business (SMB), perhaps you think that these types of threats don't concern you or that your company is too small for anyone to notice or bother with a cyberattack.
 
Think again!
 
Cybercriminals are focused more than ever on SMB's as a lucrative goal, they know that many small businesses lack the budget and security knowledge to effectively protect themselves, so they are an easy target.
