About the event
On average, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) lose $25,000 per cyber-attack. SMBs make up 43% of cyber-attacks annually with 46% of these attacks hitting small businesses with 1,000 or fewer employees. And employees of small businesses experience 350% more social engineering attacks than those at larger enterprises.
Worse yet --- approximately 60% of small businesses shut down within six months of a data breach or cyber-attack.
Robust cybersecurity is empowering. As cyber threats continue to evolve, investing in cybersecurity not only safeguards your organization but also contributes to overall business viability.
