 3. The reason why small businesses need cybersecurity

Small business owners are not prepared for future cyber attacks on them. According to a recent survey, only 55% of small business owners report that cyber attack is the greatest risk to their companies. Despite repeated warnings, small businesses are not aware of the risk of cyber attacks. This general lack of interest could pose a major threat in the future, and many hackers are targeting small businesses.
