I recently wrote about using passwords correctly, and a reader replied: “I’ve been getting told this for years, but who’s ever going to attack my 12-employee business?”
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard remarks like that. The answer is: “Who won’t attack you!?”
Hackers don’t care whether your annual revenue is in five figures or nine. They will target you. Indeed, if you’re on the smaller size, you’re more likely to be vulnerable because, chances are, you’re an easier target. After all, as BullGuard CEO Paul Lipman said: “Small businesses are not immune to cyberattacks and data breaches and are often targeted specifically because they often fail to prioritize security.”
