You may think that big businesses with more endpoints are more vulnerable than small businesses. Or, businesses with attractive data, like financial services companies or those in the healthcare industry, would be easy targets. That’s not always the case—of course, they hold an incredible amount of data, but it’s like trying to rob the Federal Reserve gold vault versus robbing a regular Joe on the street. Bigger businesses or those that handle sensitive data typically have the technology, regulations, and processes to protect themselves from cyberattacks.

On the other hand, small and medium-sized businesses including law firms without dedicated IT expertise, cybersecurity technology, processes, or education are easy targets for hackers.

Some industries are at greater risk of cyber threats due to the nature of their business (e.g., healthcare, financial, and education). But when it comes down to it, all organizations should have mitigation measures in place to protect their networks and customers’ sensitive information.

With the advances in technology, expanded connectivity, and criminal creativity, cyber attacks will continue to skyrocket at an exponential rate — and at great cost. According to a recent study, cyber crimes will cost the world more than $6 trillion by the end of 2021, and $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.

One would think that cyber criminals would primarily target major businesses and enterprises. Unfortunately these bad actors have discovered that small businesses (SMBs), especially those that are part of a supply chain to larger enterprises, are more susceptible targets.

In fact, a Global State of Security report shows that 71% of SMBs worldwide have experienced at least one cyber attack since their company’s inception, and 66% were attacked in the past year alone.

One of the biggest challenges currently facing businesses is staying educated when it comes to cybersecurity and being aware of the ever-evolving cyberthreats.

Most often, hackers initiate cyberattacks after finding a way to steal an employee’s username and password. We use “steal” lightly since hackers typically trick users into handing their information over. Once the hacker gains access to the system, they can sit back and wait until they have a perfect, lucrative opportunity to execute an attack.

With proper cybersecurity education and best practices in place, businesses can help protect themselves from the most commonly executed information hacks and cyberattacks. One of the most effective forms of cybersecurity education is Security Awareness Training.

In most cases, the answer is no.

Cybersecurity requires consistent education, company-wide processes, and executive-level commitment. Generally, there needs to be more awareness surrounding how quickly hackers can initiate a cyberattack, how quickly cyberattacks evolve, and how businesses need multiple layers of cybersecurity to protect themselves—especially in modern workplace environments where employees are working remotely and sharing a ton of important data via digital communication channels.
