There are some that believe that small business owners are hackers, are more businesses move online. SME’s feel that they have a low chance of being attacked due to their size, so they don’t prepare for the eventuality in which they are. A cyber breach can be very costly and can take businesses offline to lose more money. Business owners are encouraged to prepare for these eventualities and take steps to avoid being hacked, regardless of size.
Key Takeaways:
- SME’s (Small and Medium Enterprises) sometimes have the misconception that since they aren’t the big guys won’t be targets of hackers.
