It's worth noting that estimates are not definitive and can vary widely depending on the specific methodology used and the sources of data. Nonetheless, it's clear that cybercrime is a significant and growing threat to individuals and organizations around the world, with potentially substantial economic and social impacts.
If you think your company is too small or doesn't have enough data to be targeted, think again. Small to medium sized enterprises are not just a target, they have become the preferred target.
Data breaches continue to make headlines around the world. Seemingly, no matter what defensive measures security professionals put in place, attackers are able to circumvent them. No organization is too large or too small to fall victim to a data breach. No industry vertical is immune to attack. Regardless of the type or amount of your organization’s data, there is someone out there who is trying to steal it. Having a sound understanding of the threats you and your peer organizations face, how they have evolved over time, and which tactics are most likely to be utilized can prepare you to manage these risks more effectively and efficiently.
