Cybersecurity for SMEs – Why Small Businesses Are Prime Targets

Cyberattacks are not limited to Fortune 500 companies. In fact, 43% of cyberattacks now target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—often because hackers know these organizations have fewer resources for defense.
Common risks for SMEs include:
- Weak password practices and lack of multi-factor authentication
- Outdated software and unpatched vulnerabilities
- Limited staff awareness about phishing and social engineering
- Inadequate backup and recovery systems
The impact can be devastating—many SMEs close within six months of a major cyberattack. Yet, with the right strategy, small businesses can be just as secure as large enterprises.
Essential steps for SMEs include:
- Regular vulnerability scans
- Affordable cloud-based security tools
- Employee awareness training
- Partnering with a trusted cybersecurity provider

Cybersecurity isn’t a luxury for small businesses—it’s a necessity for survival and growth.
