Your organization isn’t too small to face a cyber attack. It’s just too small to make the news.

That may sound harsh, but at AccuNet, we see it every day.

So why would cyber criminals go after your small business?

There are several reasons you are vulnerable to cyber attack, as outlined in this YouTube video on our channel:

  1. Your company is in possession of useful data, like customer data or data on critical infrastructure
  2. You host sensitive information for other organizations
  3. Your small business lacks strong cybersecurity defenses
  4. Your data is stored or hosted in multiple locations
  5. You have compliance obligations like HIPAA and what happens if you don’t comply? They will hold your data hostage.

The fact is, cyber security is not top of mind for most people – leaving your organization vulnerable.

Most attacks start with phishing attacks – and most start with DHL, a shipping company. Who even uses DHL? It’s a red flag.

It’s getting harder and harder to tell; even for the experts.

AI is helping cyber criminals as well. They are watching your emails and learning how you do business, so they can mimic your interactions – tricking your employees.

So, what can you do? The main thing is, plan for a cyber attack. You have to have a disaster recovery plan. About 24% of businesses with 19 employees or less do not have a plan in place.

If you don’t have a plan, you will be targeted. And it will be devastating to your business.

If you are looking for a way to protect your assets and improve cyber security, we can help.
