Too many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have a pervasive, persistent delusion: “We’re too small — hackers wouldn’t be interested in us.” But it’s never really been true.
And now, it is demonstrably, statistically not true. The latest Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) found that 43 percent of breaches involved SMB victims. That’s two to four times the percentage of victims in the public sector (16 percent), healthcare (15 percent), and financial (10 percent).
