The attacker’s target:the small business

July 12, 2018

Cybercrime is increasing at epidemic proportions, from consumers, to SMB organizations to large enterprises. According to avtest.org, an independent service provider of anti-virus research, more malware was found in the past two years than in the previous 10 years combined. From 2013 to 2014, new malware jumped just over 71 percent from 83M to 142M new strains being introduced. And it turns out Small to Medium Business (SMB) organizations are becoming the cybercriminal’s “sweet spot”. Large enterprise organizations have highly valued information that cybercriminals like to go after, however, larger businesses typically have significant budgets and resources to achieve a high level of protection. Consumers on the other hand, have lower value information for attackers, yet they also have a low level of protection.
