Cyber attacks on small businesses are a common occurrence. While smaller organizations often lull themselves into thinking cybercriminals aren’t interested in them, reality is quite different. It’s true the biggest headline-grabbing hacks typically involve large companies, but anyone could be a target. Hackers don’t discriminate by size. Skim the slides, it'll take just take a minute. It's eye opening to realize our vulnerability each day.
