Today, threats are more sophisticated, more successful and more destructive than ever before. With ransomware, malware, phishing and social engineering threats at every corner, foundational security tools are no longer enough. In fact, according to a recent cyber readiness report, seven out of ten organizations fail the cyber readiness test that examines strategy quality and execution.

Who do cybercriminals target?

Nearly half of all cyberattacks are committed against small businesses.

Cybercriminals target the institutions we rely on for personal and business matters. It can happen at any given time to any company, industry or employee. Most of the time, cybercriminals can gain entry into your system by sending spear phishing emails with infected links or attachments that appear harmless. Once an employee clicks the link or downloads the attachment, it can spread like wildfire locking and encrypting the files on their PC.

  • In 2018, 43% of SMBs were targeted in cyberattacks
  • By 2023, over half of all the worlds data breaches will occur in the U.S.
  • The 5 most cyber-attacked industries are healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, government, and transportation with retail, oil & gas/energy, media, legal, and education rounding out the top 10 for 2019 to 2022

How to Protect your Business

Single-vector protection can only stop threats at one stage of an attack. Multi-vector protection prevents infections that come from email, browsing, files, URLs, ads, social media, and connected devices like USB drives, as well as other blended threats with the potential to deliver malicious payloads, protecting users and devices across all the stages of an attack.

Your employees are often the first line of defense, which might be a scary thought. Along with teaching your staff about cyberthreats, it's important to proactively monitor your network and back up your data before a cyberattack occurs. Frequently check security software to ensure settings are accurate and up to date.
