Most Companies Fail in 6 Months Because of This

Small and medium-sized businesses face a 60% chance of going out of business if they fail to address the risk of cyber attacks, according to research. While large companies such as Target and Netflix are often cited as victims, small businesses are targeted more frequently. Companies with innovative tech solutions are especially vulnerable as they provide hackers with a larger attack surface. In addition, most companies have not adequately prepared themselves for an attack, which can wreak havoc on their operations. To deal with the risk of cyber attack, businesses must have a plan to respond, train their employees to spot threats and run cyber simulations to test their defenses.
